AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2001 Ford has 23 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 17,888 miles. The presence of a 2023 MOT gap, combined with a 2011–2012 mileage decrease, makes this vehicle unassessable for safety and reliability.
The MOT history shows a 12-year gap (2019–2023) and a 3-year period (2011–2012) with suspiciously low mileage, indicating a high risk of odometer fraud.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Mar 2011 (42,339 mi) and Mar 2012 (13,905 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
- MOT HISTORY CRITICAL GAP: No MOT recorded between 2019 and 2023 — 12-year gap for a 25-year-old car.
- MILEAGE DECREASE: Mileage decreased from 42,339 miles (Mar 2011) to 13,905 miles (Mar 2012) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
- UNVERIFIED MILEAGE: Consistently low annual mileage (3,215 miles/year) for a 25-year-old vehicle.
Working in its favour
- No recent MOT failures: The single 2008-02-11 failure was immediately rectified and passed.
- Consistent recent passes: The vehicle has passed its last two MOT tests (Feb 2024, Feb 2025).
- No recent advisories: The most recent MOT (Feb 2025) shows no new advisories.
- No mileage spikes: The mileage trajectory is consistent, with no sudden large jumps.
