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 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 26,907 miles. The vehicle's history of overheating and timing chain issues, as reported by owners, further compounds its reliability.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,243 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine light usage.
Things to check
- Major emissions failure on 2026-02-28, previously only advisory, signals a significant and costly repair.
- Persistent suspension arm advisories across 7 tests (2015-02-28 to 2026-02-28) indicate ongoing wear.
- Brake pad advisories from 2019-02-28 to 2026-02-28, combined with shock absorber advisories, point to significant upcoming maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-01, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,243 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No recorded mileage discrepancies or rollbacks in the MOT history.
