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

This 2016 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 34,696 miles. The recurring nature of critical safety components like brakes and suspension suggests a pattern of neglect.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,915 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defects on 2019-05-04 (tread depth, ply exposed) indicate severe neglect.
  • Major suspension failure on 2020-11-05 (coil spring) and subsequent advisories show recurring issues.
  • Major brake failures on 2023-12-01 (discs worn) and 2022-11-04 (discs worn) with 11 advisories.
  • Recurring brake hose advisories (2026-01-19) suggest an ongoing, unaddressed safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,915 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No recurring failures of critical safety systems like steering or emissions.
