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 26 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 50,212 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems demands thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,270 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has varied significantly over its 12-year life.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Jan 2019 – Jan 2020)
  • Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures (Jan 2021, Jul 2021) and brake failures (Jan 2021, Jul 2022) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Multiple DANGEROUS defects (tyres, brakes) across 7 failed tests show a pattern of critical safety component wear.
  • The 2017-01-24 FAILED test with ADVISORY for both front tyres wearing thin on edges directly preceded a PASS, a classic 'just passed MOT' seller tactic.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-07-19, indicating it currently meets basic roadworthiness standards.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, suggesting genuine usage.
  • All 7 test failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or subsequent day, showing responsive ownership.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, which is a significant positive for this vehicle.
