AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Ford has 22 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 7,426 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with this anomaly, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 1,084 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 22,705 miles in Aug 2019 to 23,182 miles in Aug 2020, indicating a possible odometer tampering or severe underuse.
Things to check
- Extremely low mileage: 1,084 mi/yr average over 22 years, highly suspicious for odometer fraud.
- Mileage anomaly: Usage dropped from 22,705 miles (Aug 2019) to 23,182 miles (Aug 2020), a 10% decrease.
- First MOT in 2006 at 7,426 miles is unusually low for a 2003 vehicle.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-05, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures or advisories on critical safety systems.
- Single minor MOT failure (seatbelt, 2008) was immediately rectified.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage since first MOT.
