AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Ford has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 22,618 miles. The vehicle's age and mileage trajectory are positive, but the repeated advisories for critical safety components warrant a thorough inspection.
Mileage is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,739 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent 7,573-mile increase in Oct 2025.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 7 tests (Sep 2021, Oct 2023, Oct 2024) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring steering rack advisories across 4 tests (Sep 2021, Oct 2023, Oct 2024) suggest ongoing issues.
- Major suspension failure (Offside Rear Suspension arm, Oct 2023) and brake hose failure (Offside Front, Oct 2023) show past neglect.
- Windscreen minor defects recorded in 4 separate tests (Sep 2021, Oct 2023, Oct 2024) suggest a persistent problem.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- All major and minor failures were promptly rectified and passed subsequent retests.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
