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

This 2014 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 25,360 miles.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 7,266 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low annual usage of 4,737 miles between Dec 2024 and Jan 2026.

Things to check

  • Escalation from advisory 'Offside Track rod end ball joint has excessive play' (Dec 2024) to a major failure (Jan 2026) signals a critical safety system was ignored.
  • The Dec 2024 advisory for excessive play in the offside track rod end ball joint was a clear warning sign that was ignored, leading to a major failure by Jan 2026.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,266 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No recorded failures for dangerous defects like brakes or steering until the Jan 2026 test.
