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 20,340 miles. The vehicle's history of potential engine issues, as reported by owners, further compounds the risk.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,098 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defect (Feb 2024) indicates severe neglect of critical safety components.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Mar 2022, Feb 2023) suggest ongoing wear and potential future costs.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (Feb 2021, Feb 2024) point to a history of unaddressed wear items.
  • Community-reported high-risk issues like turbo failure and head gasket problems for 2.0L EcoBoost engines.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,098 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
