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

This 2013 Ford has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 21,964 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated advisories and failures point to a vehicle requiring ongoing maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,131 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (Oct 2019, Sep 2022, Sep 2023, Sep 2024, Sep 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring brake pad and disc advisories across 4 tests (Oct 2019, Sep 2022) suggest ongoing brake system wear.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories across 3 tests (Sep 2021, Sep 2022) point to consistent wear on suspension components.
  • Major failure for exhaust leak (Sep 2022) and tyre size mismatch (Sep 2022) highlight past neglect of critical safety systems.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,131 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
  • Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
