AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Ford has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 12,152 miles. The single DANGEROUS brake failure in 2021 is a significant red flag for a diesel engine.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 5,382 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2021-03-03 (rear disc worn, pitted) — a critical safety concern for a diesel.
- Recurring rear brake disc advisories from 2021-03-03 through 2022-03-18 indicate a chronic, unresolved issue.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Mar 2022, Mar 2024) suggest a pattern of wear and potential neglect of consumables.
- Major failure for windscreen washer (Mar 2022) highlights basic maintenance oversight.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-17 provides significant peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,382 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear on components.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
