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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 24,057 miles. However, a significant recurring pattern of tyre and brake advisories, combined with a history of major emissions failures, raises concerns about ongoing maintenance and potential wear.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 6,812 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a period of very low annual mileage (e.g., 2,748 miles between Mar 2020 and Mar 2021).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Mar 2019, Aug 2022, Aug 2023, Aug 2024) indicate persistent wear.
- Recurring brake advisories across 3 tests (Mar 2019, Aug 2022, Aug 2024) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- Major emissions failure in Aug 2023, following a major leak advisory in Mar 2019, points to potential engine issues.
- Major lights failure in Aug 2023, following a position lamp advisory in Mar 2019, shows inconsistent electrical maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 08/30/2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
