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

This 2015 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 90% pass rate and 25,213 miles. However, a significant mileage anomaly and a known high-risk timing chain issue for the 1.2L engine variant require careful consideration.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Aug 2020 (301 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, indicating potential odometer fraud or a period of inactivity.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage before Aug 2020 (301 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Turbo failure: Known high-risk issue for 1.2L engines (e.g., 2014–present).
  • Timing chain: High-risk component for 1.2L engines (e.g., 2013–present).
  • Offside Rear Coil spring fractured: Major failure in Oct 2023, though rectified.

Working in its favour

  • Strong MOT record: 9 of 10 tests passed, with no dangerous defects.
  • Recent MOT pass: Valid MOT until February 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent retests: Single failure in Oct 2023 was immediately rectified and passed.
  • Low annual mileage: Average of 5,523 miles/year suggests light use and potential longevity.
