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 86% pass rate and 14,564 miles. The combination of these factors makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critically low mileage of 54,405 miles over 14 years, with a significant drop to only 697 miles between Nov 2024 and Apr 2026, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 54,405 miles over 14 years (Jan 2012).
  • Mileage dropped to only 697 miles between Nov 2024 and Apr 2026, a major red flag for odometer fraud.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Oct 2020) escalated to a major failure (Dec 2023), indicating chronic neglect.
  • Recurring lighting failures (Sep 2019, Oct 2020) and advisories (Oct 2020) suggest a pattern of electrical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current maintenance is being addressed.
  • The 1.2L petrol engine is known for its durability and reliability, despite community-reported faults.
  • The vehicle has a consistent MOT history, with all failures promptly rectified.
