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

This 2003 Ford has 28 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 15,247 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage and recurring suspension failures make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 87,762 miles in Aug 2013, but only 27,324 miles in Jul 2025, indicating a possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Aug 2013 (87,762 mi) and Aug 2015 (3,096 mi) — possible odometer tampering
  • Mileage decreased from 87,762 mi (Aug 2013) to 3,096 mi (Aug 2015) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Extremely

Working in its favour

  • MOT currently valid until 2026-08-14, indicating recent roadworthiness assessment.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded in the latest tests.
  • Consistent annual MOT testing history since first registration in 2003.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers.
