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

This 2002 Ford has 24 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 25,367 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly suspicious, indicating potential odometer fraud.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Oct 2017 (404 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage to 5,858 miles/yr, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles/yr.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS corrosion failure on 2006-08-01 for offside rear outer sill.
  • DANGEROUS corrosion failure on 2006-08-01 for nearside rear suspension mounting.
  • DANGEROUS emissions failure on 2006-08-01.
  • Recurring major failures in suspension (4 times) and brakes (6 times) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • No positive MOT history is evident due to the severe and recurring failures.
  • No positive mileage history is evident due to the severe and recurring anomalies.
