AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2001 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 51,000 miles. While mileage is consistent, recurring advisories for lights and brakes, plus a 5-year MOT gap, present significant risks.
Mileage is consistent, averaging 9,301 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 5-year MOT gap (2010-2015) is a major concern.
Things to check
- MOT history shows a 5-year gap (2010-2015) with no recorded tests.
- Recurring advisories for lights (3 failures) and brakes (8 advisories) indicate ongoing wear.
- Consistent high mileage (105k+ miles) suggests heavy use, accelerating wear on critical components.
- Current MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2016-08-26, indicating it is not roadworthy.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,301 miles/year, no suspicious drops.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded.
- Immediate retests after failures show owner's proactive approach to rectifying issues.
