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

This 2002 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 31,791 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 2008 service gap, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,942 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a 2008 MOT gap is concerning.

Things to check

  • Major suspension failure on 2007-09-18 (Macpherson strut) after advisory on 2007-04-14.
  • Recurring suspension arm bush advisories on 2007-04-14 and 2007-09-20.
  • Recurring tyre advisories on 2007-04-14 and 2007-09-20.
  • 2008 MOT gap suggests potential SORN or off-road use.

Working in its favour

  • No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • The 2013-06-24 MOT pass shows no current advisories.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage suggests light use.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
