AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Ford has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 11,886 miles. However, a significant pattern of tyre-related advisories and a major brake failure, combined with a history of head gasket issues, warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 8,619 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent high of 11,846 miles/year.
Things to check
- Major failure for front brake disc wear (Aug 2024) — a safety-critical system.
- Persistent and recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (Aug 2019–Sep 2025) — indicates ongoing wear.
- Community-reported head gasket issues (2013+) — a known model weakness for this engine.
- Recent major failure for front brake disc wear (Aug 2024) — a safety-critical system.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until September 2026 — no immediate retesting required.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,619 miles/year — no fraud indicators.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems (engine, transmission) — only tyres and brakes.
- Recent major failure for front brake disc wear (Aug 2024) was immediately rectified.
