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 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 62,029 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the vehicle's age and past issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,432 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2008 and 2009, and a notable spike in 2014-2015.

Things to check

  • High mileage (151,613 mi) for a 2003 vehicle suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
  • Recurring tyre failures (Feb 2015 FAIL) and advisories (Mar 2013 ADVISORY) indicate a persistent issue.
  • Major suspension failure (Feb 2015 FAIL) and corrosion advisory (Feb 2007 ADVISORY) point to structural neglect.
  • Emissions major failure (Feb 2015 FAIL) and brakes major failure (Feb 2015 FAIL) highlight multiple system weaknesses.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending vehicle life.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • The vehicle has a long, consistent service history, as evidenced by the high mileage.
  • The 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive, though for a 2003 model, it's average.
