AI verdict AVOID 33/100

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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 10,172 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2020 service gap, raises significant red flags for a buyer.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 22 miles/year before July 2018, followed by a significant increase in annual usage, indicating potential odometer fraud or a long period of inactivity.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2026-05-28 MOT test.
  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests.
  • Recurring steering component failures and advisories across multiple tests.
  • Recurring tyre wear advisories escalating to dangerous failure in 2026.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-28, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage anomalies detected since the 2018 MOT.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the 2026-05-28 MOT.
