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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 36,651 miles. However, a significant recurring pattern of major failures, particularly with lights and windscreen, combined with a history of engine issues, warrants careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,773 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, though there was a 3-year period (2021-2022) of lower usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in lights (4 times) and windscreen (2 times) across multiple tests.
  • Major suspension failure in March 2025, with a preceding advisory for corrosion.
  • Consistent pattern of major failures in critical safety systems (lights, windscreen).
  • History of engine issues (turbo, head gasket, overheating) reported by community.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 11,773 miles/year.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
  • All major failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent MOTs.
