AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2002 Ford has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 25,600 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of wear on critical components like discs and pads is a significant red flag for future costs.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,228 miles per year, averaging only 25,600 miles over 24 years, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in brakes (Jan 2009) and suspension (Jan 2009) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Brake disc wear advisories (Jan 2006, 2008, 2009) and pad wear (Jan 2008) are a persistent, high-cost pattern.
  • Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (Jan 2014) is a serious safety hazard.
  • Extremely low mileage (5,228 mi/yr) for a 24-year-old vehicle suggests long periods of inactivity.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a current, albeit expired, MOT certificate from 2019.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT record.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures demonstrate owner responsiveness.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT tests.
