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 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 19,609 miles. The mileage shows a significant anomaly, jumping 56,229 miles in just 12 months, which is highly suspicious.
The mileage shows a significant anomaly: 19,609 miles in Sep 2006, then 32,906 miles in Oct 2007, but a massive 56,229-mile jump occurred between Apr 2009 and Oct 2013, indicating a major discrepancy.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2016-10-21; vehicle is currently not valid for road use.
- Mileage shows a 56,229-mile jump between Apr 2009 and Oct 2013, a major red flag for fraud.
- Recurring major failures: 9 major failures across lights, tyres, steering, and brakes.
- Recurring advisories: 9 suspension arm advisories across 3 tests, indicating chronic neglect.
Working in its favour
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner addressed immediate issues.
- Consistent annual mileage before the 56,229-mile jump, indicating normal usage.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars (2017) provides some basic safety assurance.
