AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2004 Ford has 19 MOT tests on record with a 84% pass rate and 13,160 miles. While it has a clean failure history, the mileage trajectory is highly irregular, suggesting periods of inactivity or unusual usage.
The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with unusually high jumps before Sep 2019 (14,839 mi/yr equivalent) and Sep 2020 (11,371 mi/yr equivalent), followed by very low annual usage (e.g., 3,115 mi between Sep 2021 and Sep 2022).
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories across 6 tests (coil spring, ball joint) indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring brake disc advisories across 2 tests (Aug 2018, Sep 2025) suggest a pattern of neglect.
- Unusually high mileage jumps before Sep 2019 (14,839 mi/yr equivalent) and Sep 2020 (11,371 mi/yr equivalent) are significant anomalies.
- The Sep 2025 MOT still carries an advisory for a corroded offside rear anti-roll bar.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until September 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent annual tax payments demonstrate regular maintenance and compliance.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects have been recorded on the MOT history.
