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 10 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 32,226 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and the vehicle's age warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 7,716 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, as evidenced by the steady progression from 32,226 miles in Sep 2006 to 66,638 miles in Aug 2011.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (Aug 2007, Aug 2011) and advisories (Sep 2006) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring brake system failures (Aug 2007, Aug 2011) and advisories (Sep 2006) point to systemic issues.
  • Recurring lighting failures (Aug 2007, Aug 2011) and advisories (Sep 2006) suggest poor maintenance.
  • The vehicle is currently untaxed and has a 'Not valid' MOT status, requiring immediate attention.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,716 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • All major failures were promptly rectified and retested, indicating the owner addressed issues as they arose.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, as readings are consistent and logical.
