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 69% pass rate and 33,324 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring tyre and suspension issues, coupled with a history of dangerous defects, raises serious concerns about its long-term reliability and maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,838 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories and failures across 6 tests (May 2019, Sep 2020, Sep 2021, Sep 2022, Aug 2023, Aug 2024, Aug 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Suspension arm advisories on May 2019 escalated to a major failure on Sep 2022, suggesting a structural weakness.
  • Dangerous tyre defects (bulge, ply exposed) were recorded on Sep 2020 and Sep 2022, highlighting past safety risks.
  • The 2015-06-27 failed MOT for delaminated registration plates and ineffective wipers shows basic maintenance neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-13 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (8,838 mi/yr) suggests regular use and no odometer fraud.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering components.
