AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 20,751 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 3-year-old MOT expiry, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 8,394 miles/year, but a critical 3-year gap in MOT history (2022-2025) is highly unusual and warrants immediate investigation.
Things to check
- Recurring major emissions failures (May 2024, May 2026) indicate persistent engine issues.
- Recurring major brake failures (May 2024, May 2026) suggest a pattern of neglect.
- Recurring major tyre failures (May 2026) and advisories (May 2022, 2023) point to chronic wear.
- The 3-year MOT gap (2022-2025) is highly suspicious and prevents proper assessment of vehicle condition.
Working in its favour
- Mileage is consistent with UK average, showing no signs of tampering.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until May 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- The 1.0L EcoBoost engine is known for its durability and reliability.
