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 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 23,742 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated tyre issues and unexplained history warrant careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 6,783 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 2022 service gap is concerning.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 12 MOT tests (Jan 2021, Jan 2025, Feb 2026).
  • Major failure for 'Lights' on 4 separate occasions (Jan 2021, Jan 2023, Feb 2024, Feb 2026).
  • Major failure for 'Tyres' on 2 separate occasions (Jan 2021, Jan 2025).
  • Major failure for 'Windscreen' on 1 separate occasion (Feb 2026).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-15, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • All major failures were promptly rectified and retested successfully.
