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 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 58,814 miles. The vehicle's high annual usage and numerous unresolved advisories from the most recent MOT present significant risks.

The vehicle shows exceptionally high annual usage, averaging 19,441 miles per year, with a notable 6-month gap in MOT history in 2025.

Things to check

  • High annual mileage of 19,441 miles/yr (UK average 8,000) indicates significant wear and tear.
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (Aug 2020, Aug 2021) and suspension (Aug 2020, Aug 2021) suggest structural neglect.
  • The most recent MOT (Jan 2026) carries 6 unresolved advisories for critical components like steering, subframe, and suspension.
  • A 6-month MOT gap in 2025 raises questions about the vehicle's maintenance and roadworthiness during that period.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • No MOT failures recorded for the 2019-2024 period, indicating some periods of good maintenance.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for road legality.
  • Consistent high annual mileage suggests regular use and potentially lower storage-related issues.
