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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 15,539 miles.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,458 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 14-year history.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (13 items) across 4 tests (May 2018, Sep 2022, Sep 2023, Sep 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (5 items) across 4 tests (May 2018, Sep 2020, Sep 2023, Sep 2025) show a consistent pattern of wear.
- Recurring exhaust advisories (3 items) culminating in a major leak (Sep 2022) points to a long-standing issue.
- The 2017-05-08 MOT shows a dangerous defect (exhaust leak) that was only addressed in Sep 2022, a significant lapse in safety.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-28, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,458 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
