AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Ford has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 9,478 miles. Recent MOT failures for windscreen wipers and a steering component, combined with a 2-year gap in testing, suggest potential neglect.
The vehicle recorded only 37 miles/year equivalent from Jan 2021 to May 2024, a critical 8-year period of very low usage, despite normal annual usage since.
Things to check
- Extremely low mileage recorded from Jan 2021 to May 2024 (37 miles/year equivalent) — a major red flag for potential long-term inactivity.
- Nearside Front Steering rack gaiter missing (Jan 2022 failure) — a safety-critical defect that was not immediately rectified.
- Windscreen washer system failure (Jan 2022) — indicates a period of poor maintenance.
- Two-year gap in MOT testing (Aug 2022 to Nov 2023) — suggests potential periods of non-use or lack of maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-19, offering significant peace of mind for the next three years.
- Normal annual mileage (7,565 miles/year) since May 2024, aligning with typical UK usage.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like brakes or suspension.
- Recent MOT pass (May 2026) after addressing prior failures and advisories.
