AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2014 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 19,354 miles. The vehicle's past issues with the engine and overheating, as reported by owners, also warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,465 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect (Jul 2019) indicates past owner neglect of critical safety items.
- Recurring major emissions failures (Jul 2019) and advisories (Jun 2021) suggest ongoing engine/drivetrain issues.
- Multiple major exhaust failures (Jul 2019) and advisories (Jun 2021) point to a history of catalytic converter and emissions system problems.
- The 2014 Ford's 2.0L Ecoboost engine has a history of overheating and head gasket issues, which aligns with the owner-reported faults.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until July 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (7,465 mi/yr) suggests genuine, light usage.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2019 tyre issue.
- The vehicle has a long, unbroken MOT history since its first test in 2017.
