AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2002 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 28,831 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect and potential underlying mechanical problems warrants a thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows very low annual mileage of 5,834 miles/year, averaging only 28,831 miles over 24 years, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 6 tests (Dec 2005, Jan 2008, Jan 2009, Jan 2012, Jan 2014, Jan 2015, Jan 2016, Jan 2017) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Major failures for windscreen wiper (Jan 2009) and rear position lamp (Jan 2009) suggest poor maintenance.
  • Service gaps in 2006, 2011, and 2013 suggest periods of inactivity or lack of regular servicing.
  • The 2002 Ford is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge of £12.50 in London.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a current, valid MOT certificate, which is a positive for immediate roadworthiness.
  • No recurring failures in critical safety systems like brakes or suspension have been identified.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing prompt owner action to address issues.
  • The low annual mileage (5,834 miles/yr) suggests minimal wear and tear on certain components.
