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 21 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 6,952 miles. While it has passed most tests, the pattern of wear suggests potential neglect.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (3,601 miles/yr) until a significant jump of 12,486 miles/yr occurred before the July 2023 MOT, indicating a major usage change.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect (Jul 2025) — offside front tyre tread below 1.6mm.
- Recurring tyre failures/advisories across 10 tests (2018–2025) — persistent wear pattern.
- Recurring brake pad wear advisories (Jul 2024, Jul 2025) — indicates ongoing maintenance needs.
- Unusually high mileage jump before Jul 2023 (12,486 mi/yr equivalent) — significant usage anomaly.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-30 — no immediate retesting required.
- No major structural failures recorded — core mechanical systems appear sound.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage — no odometer fraud detected.
