AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2012 Ford has 18 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 34,734 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems demands thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,800 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but shows a significant increase in recent years.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm advisories across 6 tests (Jul 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Five DANGEROUS tyre failures (Sep 2018, Jul 2019, Jul 2020) and 15 recurring tyre advisories point to a history of poor maintenance.
  • Major failures for brakes (4 times, Jul 2019, 2020, 2022) and steering (2 times, Jul 2019, 2022) show systemic neglect.
  • The most recent MOT (Jul 2025) still carries advisories for shock absorber, engine oil, brake system, tyre, and suspension arm, indicating immediate costs.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,800 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until July 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No recurring failures on the same critical system in the last 3 years (e.g., no repeated brake failures).
