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 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 17,649 miles.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage, averaging only 5,641 miles per year, with a significant anomaly of only 37 miles recorded between Jan 2025 and Apr 2025.
Things to check
- Blown head gasket (2013+) — a major, expensive, and potentially catastrophic failure for a 1.2L engine.
- Timing chain failure (2026) — a major, expensive, and potentially catastrophic failure for a 1.2L engine.
- Suspiciously low mileage (5,641 mi/yr) — a significant red flag for a 2013 vehicle, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
- Mileage anomaly (37 miles in 14 days) — a clear sign of odometer fraud or a serious data error.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027 — provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures (last failure 2026) — the vehicle has been maintained to pass its most recent tests.
- Consistent annual mileage (pre-2025) — shows a pattern of regular use before the recent anomalies.
- No recurring major structural failures (suspension, brakes) — the car has not had repeated major system failures.
