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 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 74,982 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's history suggests significant wear and potential future costs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,553 miles/year, with a notable drop in annual usage from 2019 to 2022 (1,043 miles in 2021), but no decreases or anomalies.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in suspension (6 times) and brakes (4 times) across multiple tests.
  • Engine oil advisory from Nov 2025 MOT, a recurring issue since 2024, suggests poor maintenance.
  • Dangerous tyre defect recorded in May 2019, indicating past neglect of critical safety components.
  • Consistent pattern of electrical failures (lights, wipers) and exhaust advisories across tests.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until November 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or increases.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
