AI verdict AVOID 45/100

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 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 44,281 miles. The recurring pattern of critical safety and emissions issues, combined with a 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage at 8,827 miles/year, but a significant drop in annual usage from 2019 (92,918 mi) to 2022 (101,372 mi) is a red flag for potential underlying issues.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Emissions failure on 2015-10-19 (44,281 mi) — a critical safety issue.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres worn close to legal limit on 2016-10-14 (53,963 mi) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Rear brakes imbalanced on 2017-09-18 (65,451 mi) — severe safety failure.
  • Recurring major failures: Lights (10 failures), Suspension (5 failures), Emissions (4 failures), Steering (2 failures) — systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Current MOT valid until 2027-05-22 — no immediate retest required.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects on the latest MOT (May 2026).
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or increases since 2025.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
