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 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 15,814 miles. The vehicle's very low mileage and a recorded mileage decrease raise serious concerns about its true condition and integrity.

The vehicle shows a significant mileage decrease from 34,458 miles in Nov 2012 to 34,015 miles in Nov 2013, and a total of only 41,953 miles over 24 years, which is highly suspicious and suggests potential odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Nov 2012 (34,458 mi) and Nov 2013 (34,015 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Complete MOT failure on 2018-11-25 with no subsequent passes, indicating it is not roadworthy.
  • Mileage decreased from 34,458 miles (Nov 2012) to 34,015 miles (Nov 2013) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Very low total mileage of 41,953 miles over 24 years (Jan 2002 to Nov 2018) — well below UK average.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this 24-year-old vehicle.
