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

This 2002 Ford has 22 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 13,660 miles. The vehicle's history is incomplete and raises serious concerns.

The vehicle shows only 58,011 miles in 24 years, a significant anomaly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2002, making it unroadworthy and illegal to drive.
  • Mileage of 58,011 miles is significantly below average, raising odometer fraud concerns.
  • First MOT test on 2019-04-09 failed to record mileage trajectory for 15+ years.
  • The 2006-11-15 test recorded a suspension arm advisory but no subsequent resolution.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 9 historical failures
  • No specific MOT failures recorded on 2019-04-09, only minor advisories.
  • The 2006-11-15 test noted a suspension arm advisory, but no subsequent failures.
  • The 2008-11-19 test noted a wiper failure, but no subsequent failures.
