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 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 13,485 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2018-07-20, which is a critical red flag.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,954 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2012 onwards, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2018-07-20, indicating no current MOT.
  • 8 major failures and 11 advisories across 20 tests reveal systemic neglect.
  • Recurring suspension arm failures (flagged in 6 tests) and ball joint issues (4 tests) are critical.
  • The 2018-07-20 MOT expiry is 7 years ago, making the current MOT status highly questionable.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this vehicle.
