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 31 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 17,007 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 24-year-old engine, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,559 miles per year, with a significant drop from 99,278 miles in Sep 2018 to 17,007 miles in Sep 2005.

Things to check

  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,559 mi/yr) for a 24-year-old vehicle.
  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across 9 tests, indicating chronic neglect.
  • Recurring steering rack failures and advisories across 2 tests, suggesting structural issues.
  • Multiple major failures (brakes, suspension, emissions) and numerous advisories on the same components.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current roadworthiness.
  • Valid MOT until August 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, despite being low, shows no suspicious drops or spikes.
