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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 38,683 miles. While many issues were resolved, the sheer number of advisories and failures points to a vehicle requiring significant ongoing maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,840 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine odometer readings.
Things to check
- Recurring subframe corrosion advisories (Feb 2026) and suspension arm advisories (Feb 2026) indicate ongoing structural wear.
- Multiple tyre and suspension failures/advisories across 11 MOT tests (2019–2026) suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance.
- Engine coolant migration to cylinders (community report) is a serious, unverified head gasket issue for this 2013 Ford 1.6L diesel.
- The 2013 Ford 1.6L diesel engine has a history of head gasket and timing chain failures, aligning with community-reported faults.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (7,840 mi/yr) aligns with typical UK usage, no fraud indicators.
- Most recent MOT (Feb 2026) passed despite numerous advisories, showing current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
