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 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 36,662 miles. The most recent MOT in May 2026 failed with dangerous defects, making it unroadworthy and a significant financial risk.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: while it accumulated 24,729 miles/year for its first 8 years, the last 3 years (Aug 2023 to May 2026) saw only 293 miles recorded, indicating a severe and unexplained change in usage.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (May 2026): Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))
  • May 2026 FAILED MOT with DANGEROUS defects on brakes and MAJOR failures on tyres and shock absorbers.
  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 6+ tests from Oct 2019 to May 2026.
  • Recurring handbrake failures and advisories across 3+ tests from Mar 2022 to May 2026.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until September 2026, despite the recent failure.
  • No recorded mileage discrepancies or fraud before the 2023-2024 period.
  • No outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is indicated by the provided data.
  • No Cat N/S write-off markers are explicitly mentioned in the MOT history.
