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 23 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 21,605 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and history of issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,635 miles/year, with a significant drop from 65,306 miles in July 2018 to 72,672 miles in July 2021, and then only 929 miles in the subsequent two years.

Things to check

  • Dangerous steering defect recorded on 2007-08-24, though no recent failures.
  • Recurring suspension issues: 13 advisories across 3 tests, including corroded mounting.
  • Recurring brake disc wear: 4 advisories across 3 tests, indicating a long-term issue.
  • Recurring tyre condition advisories: 3 advisories across 2 tests, suggesting ongoing wear.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-10, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No recent major failures, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory over its lifespan.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage patterns.
