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

This 2003 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 43,956 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and the vehicle's age warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,776 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, though there was a 5-year period (2010-2015) of very low usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (Feb 2007, Feb 2008, Mar 2010, Mar 2015).
  • Persistent lighting issues, including position lamp failures (Feb 2008, Feb 2011, Mar 2015).
  • Tyre condition advisories escalating to a failure (Feb 2011, Mar 2015).
  • Engine overheating and head gasket issues reported by owners (high risk for this model).

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,776 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit expired in 2016.
  • The car has been consistently tested and maintained, despite recurring issues.
