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

This 2016 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 22,554 miles. The pattern of neglect and potential odometer fraud makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage of 22,554 miles over 10 years is significantly below average, with a critical anomaly of only 72 miles covered between the April 2026 failures and the subsequent pass.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2026): Front Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS tyre failures on 2021-04-09 (both front tyres) and 2021-04-09 (both front tyres).
  • DANGEROUS brake failures on 2021-04-09 (front) and 2021-04-09 (front).
  • Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (major failure) on 2021-04-09.

Working in its favour

  • Current valid MOT until 2027-04-16, indicating it is roadworthy at present.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects since the 2021-04-09 test.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate repairs for failures, showing owner's diligence in getting it roadworthy.
