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 80% pass rate and 60,127 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect and potential underlying issues warrants careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage (5 mi/yr equivalent) before April 2013, followed by normal annual usage, indicating a potential period of inactivity or deliberate underuse.

Things to check

  • Apr 2013: Mileage recorded as 6 miles, a significant anomaly for a 2003 vehicle.
  • Apr 2013: Recurring advisories on brakes, lights, and suspension across multiple tests.
  • Apr 2013: Recurring advisories on wheel bearing and brake hose across multiple tests.
  • Apr 2014: Most recent MOT advisory for tyres, indicating immediate replacement needs.

Working in its favour

  • Apr 2014: Most recent MOT passed with no failures recorded.
  • May 2006: Initial MOT failure for registration plate and wiper immediately rectified.
  • Apr 2007: Initial MOT failure for headlamp aim and registration plate lamp fixed.
  • Consistent mileage: Normal annual usage post-2013, no suspicious spikes.
