AI verdict AVOID 60/100

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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 19,460 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the extremely low mileage for its age makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows only 19,460 miles over 14 years, a significant anomaly from the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting potential odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 19,460 miles over 14 years (Jun 2025).
  • Mileage anomaly indicates potential odometer fraud, a critical safety concern.
  • First MOT test on 2015-06-10 recorded only 19,460 miles for a 2012 vehicle.
  • No mileage recorded for 5 years (Jan 2012–Jan 2017), a major red flag for authenticity.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a valid MOT until June 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring major failures or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently passed its retests after initial failures, showing owner responsiveness.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
