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

This 2013 Ford has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 34,424 miles. The mileage is suspiciously low for its age, and the vehicle's long-term reliability is severely compromised.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 7,411 miles per year, which is highly unusual for a 2013 diesel and raises significant fraud detection concerns.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Nov 2020 and Dec 2024, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring brake system advisories across 4 tests (Nov 2022, Nov 2023, Nov 2025) signal chronic issues.
  • Major failures for steering (Offside Front Track rod end ball joint excessive play in Dec 2024) and emissions (Dec 2024).
  • Engine/Oil major failure in Dec 2024, a critical safety component for a diesel engine.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until December 2026, indicating it currently meets basic safety standards.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, despite being very low, shows no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • All previous MOT failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
