AI verdict AVOID 48/100

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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 22,969 miles. The mileage trajectory is low but consistent, but the vehicle's past maintenance and safety record are highly questionable.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,380 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the low usage is a concern for a 2013 car.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b)) on 2019-04-15.
