AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2002 Ford has 24 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 10,809 miles. The vehicle's age and mileage pattern raise significant red flags for a safe purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 980 miles/year, with a 24-year history of only 23,750 miles, which is highly suspicious and suggests potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage is extremely low at 980 mi/yr average over 24 years, indicating potential odometer fraud.
- Dangerous shock absorber fluid leak failure recorded on 2007-03-05 at 13,957 miles.
- Recurring brake and windscreen advisories across multiple tests, indicating ongoing wear.
- Extremely low mileage (23,750 mi) for a 24-year-old vehicle is a major red flag for reliability.
Working in its favour
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current roadworthiness.
- Valid MOT until March 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No immediate major mechanical failures are evident from the recent MOT.
