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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 22,400 miles. The vehicle's age and specific model weaknesses also warrant careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,676 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, showing normal UK usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (Feb 2022, Feb 2023) and advisories (Mar 2017, Feb 2022) suggest ongoing wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Feb 2017, Feb 2022, Feb 2024, Feb 2025) and failures (Feb 2019, Feb 2022) indicate a history of wear.
  • Offside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit (Feb 2024) and Offside Front Tyre worn (Feb 2025) show recent wear advisories.
  • Offside Rear Nail in tyre TPMS (Feb 2023) and Nearside Rear Tyre worn (Feb 2017) highlight specific recurring issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (7,676 mi/yr) with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
