AI verdict CAUTION 53/100

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

This 2004 Ford has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 13,079 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the low mileage and past issues warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows only 13,079 miles recorded on 2007-01-22, which is a significant anomaly for a 22-year-old car and suggests potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 13,079 miles over 22 years (Jan 2004).
  • Recurring major failures: Tyres (Mar 2008 advisory) and brakes (Mar 2014 failure).
  • Recurring major failures: Shock absorber (Mar 2014 advisory) and brake hose (Jan 2017 advisory).
  • Dangerous defect: Nearside Front Shock absorber serious fluid leak (Jan 2016 failure).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2018-01-10, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent retesting pattern: All 5 failures were immediately rectified and retested.
  • No recurring dangerous defects: All past failures were addressed and passed subsequent tests.
  • Low annual mileage: Only 4,853 miles/yr, potentially less wear and tear.
