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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 38,318 miles. The vehicle's high annual usage (14,476 miles/year) will accelerate wear.
The vehicle shows consistent high annual usage, averaging 14,476 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but expect accelerated wear.
Things to check
- Recurring brake pad advisories (Apr 2019, May 2022, May 2023) indicate a persistent wear item.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Apr 2019, May 2020, May 2021, May 2022, May 2023, May 2024, May 2025, May 2026) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
- Major failure for excessive play in the offside front track rod end ball joint (Apr 2016) followed by a retest pass, indicating a significant steering component issue.
- The high annual mileage (14,476 miles/year) for a 2012 vehicle will lead to accelerated wear on all components.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-05-25, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent high mileage (14,476 miles/year) suggests regular use, potentially reducing periods of inactivity.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
