AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Ford has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 4,037 miles. The extremely low annual mileage (1,042 mi/yr) is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
The vehicle shows extremely low lifetime mileage of 8,300 miles over 7 years, averaging only 1,042 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year and raises serious odometer integrity concerns.
Things to check
- Extremely low lifetime mileage: 8,300 miles over 7 years (Jan 2018 to Dec 2025) — well below UK average.
- Mileage significantly below cohort: 1,042 mi/yr average is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
- Single major failure: Windscreen failure in Dec 2024, though immediately rectified.
Working in its favour
- Clean MOT record: 6 of 7 tests passed with no dangerous defects recorded.
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-29: No immediate retest or inspection costs.
- No recurring major failures: Single windscreen failure was immediately rectified.
- Consistent annual mileage: Despite low total, usage has been consistent since first registration.
