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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 15,868 miles. The vehicle's age, low annual usage, and repeated suspension issues warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual mileage of 6,987 miles/year, with a significant 3-year gap (2015-2016) where no MOT tests were recorded, raising questions about its maintenance and usage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories across 8 tests (2007, 2011, 2013, 2014) indicate chronic wear.
- Major failure for Nearside Macpherson strut excessive movement (2007-03-09) points to structural neglect.
- Major failure for Nearside Front constant velocity joint gaiter split (2007-03-09) highlights suspension weakness.
- Major failure for Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements (2007-03-09) shows poor maintenance history.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate as of the latest test in 2016.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories are present, suggesting current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,987 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
