AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Ford has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 17,849 miles. The vehicle's history shows inconsistent maintenance of critical wear items.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,773 miles per year, with a notable spike of 10,003 miles between March 2025 and March 2026.
Things to check
- Major suspension failure (coil spring) on 2026-03-06, following a 2026-03-06 advisory for a suspension arm, signals a pattern of deferred maintenance.
- The 2026-03-06 MOT failure for a suspension arm, combined with a 2026-03-06 advisory for a tyre, suggests the owner was reactive rather than proactive in repairs.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-09 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent low annual mileage (5,773 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
- No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering, only advisories.
