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 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 24,837 miles.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,530 miles/year, with a notable drop in annual usage from 2019 to 2022, but no signs of odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories (Apr 2023) and suspension advisories (Apr 2023) indicate ongoing wear.
  • DANGEROUS tyre defect (Mar 2022) and subsequent failures highlight a history of poor maintenance.
  • Multiple light failures (Mar 2022, Apr 2023) suggest electrical or mechanical issues.
  • Rear subframe corrosion (Apr 2023) is a significant structural concern for a 2014 vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No major structural failures recorded in the MOT history.
