AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Ford has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 12,734 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 4 DANGEROUS defect escalation, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 6,227 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is offset by the dangerous tyre failures.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2025): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm 215/55/16 (5.2.3 (e)
- Dangerous tyre failures on 2025-03-11 (both front and rear) indicate severe neglect.
- Engine coolant leak advisory on 2026-02-12 is a significant unresolved safety concern.
- The 2018 Ford Escape has a known 1.5L EcoBoost engine block design flaw causing coolant leaks.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-02-12, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No mileage discrepancies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
- The single test failure on 2025-03-11 was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
- Consistent, low annual mileage suggests light use and potentially lower wear on mechanical components.
