AI verdict AVOID 37/100

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

This 2013 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 26,101 miles. The mileage trajectory is consistent, but the pattern of neglect and recurring issues makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,234 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but the MOT history reveals significant underlying mechanical issues.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Suspension arm pin or bush likely to become detached (Apr 2025) — indicates severe structural wear.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Suspension arm pin or bush likely to become detached (Apr 2025) — further evidence of widespread suspension neglect.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick inside (Apr 2023) — indicates critical brake system deterioration.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick inside (Apr 2023) — shows both rear brakes were at critical wear.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage: Average 9,234 miles/year, well below UK average of 8,000.
  • Valid MOT: Currently holds a valid MOT certificate until April 2027.
  • No odometer fraud: Mileage readings are consistent with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Immediate retests: All failures were immediately rectified and retested successfully.
