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

This 2004 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 31,225 miles.

The vehicle shows consistent low annual usage, averaging 7,811 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2016.

Things to check

  • Major brake failure (Aug 2010) and recurring advisories (Aug 2012, 2013, 2014) indicate chronic brake system neglect.
  • Major suspension failure (Aug 2010) and recurring advisories (Aug 2012, 2013, 2014) point to ongoing structural wear.
  • Major subframe advisory (Aug 2010) and a subsequent major failure (Aug 2014) suggest a critical safety component is aging.
  • The vehicle has been Untaxed since 2017, and the MOT expired in 2017, indicating a significant lapse in legal compliance and roadworthiness.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,811 mi/yr) suggests light use, potentially extending component life.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation, with consistent readings over 22 years.
  • The vehicle has a long history of MOT tests, showing continuous use and maintenance attempts.
  • No recent major failures or advisories in the last 3 years, indicating current roadworthiness.
