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

This 2004 Ford has 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 8,433 miles. While it passed two tests, the complete absence of MOT data for its entire lifespan makes a reliable assessment impossible.

No mileage trajectory can be established due to the complete absence of MOT history, which is a major concern for a 22-year-old vehicle.

Things to check

  • Complete absence of MOT history for a 22-year-old vehicle (BT54MLU).
  • No mileage trajectory can be established due to missing MOT records.
  • The vehicle is currently on SORN status with no valid MOT certificate.
  • The 2004 Ford is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring daily charges in London.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • No specific green flags can be identified due to the complete absence of MOT history for this 22-year-old vehicle.
