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

This 2014 Ford has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 42,516 miles. The mileage is high for its age, and there are significant model-specific engine risks.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,766 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable drop in recent years.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2019-02-27, immediately followed by a PASS, indicating a 'just fixed' tactic.
  • DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2023-03-16, immediately followed by a PASS, showing a pattern of reactive repairs.
  • Recurring brake advisories (Mar 2022, Apr 2026) and tyre advisories (Mar 2022, Apr 2026) indicate systemic neglect.
  • High mileage (157,154 mi) for a 2014 vehicle, suggesting heavy commercial or high-usage driving.

Working in its favour

  • MOT currently valid until 2027-05-08, indicating a recent pass despite history.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT data.
  • No recurring failures in structural integrity or major mechanical systems (e.g., engine, transmission).
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-05-08, providing immediate peace of mind.
