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

This 2003 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 40,141 miles. The high mileage for its age and a 23-year-old vehicle present significant wear and tear concerns.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,131 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies in the 40,141 miles recorded by April 2006.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake system advisories (7) across 3 tests (2007, 2008, 2009) indicate chronic wear.
  • Emissions system advisories (2) in 2007 and 2008 suggest ongoing exhaust issues.
  • High annual mileage (13,131 mi/yr) for a 23-year-old vehicle accelerates wear on all components.
  • The 2003 Ford is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate as of the last test in October 2012.
  • No DANGEROUS defects are recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety hazards.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures demonstrate owner responsiveness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation is present in the MOT records.
