AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2003 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 31,283 miles. The vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, requiring immediate verification.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,453 miles per year, with a significant spike in 2009 (24,137 miles) and a notable drop in 2014 (no MOT recorded).

Things to check

  • High mileage for age (31,283 mi over 23 years) suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
  • Recurring brake failures (3 major) and advisories (5 related) indicate a pattern of neglect.
  • Recurring tyre failures (1 major) and advisories (5 related) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
  • The 2014 MOT gap is a significant concern, as it may indicate periods of inactivity or neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending vehicle life.
  • No persistent major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
  • The 2007-12-06 advisory for imbalanced front brakes was immediately rectified, showing responsive ownership.
