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 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 15,648 miles. The vehicle's first MOT was recorded in December 2014, yet no records exist for the intervening 14 years.
No mileage analysis is possible due to the complete absence of MOT records for the vehicle's first 14 years of operation.
Things to check
- Complete absence of MOT records for the vehicle's first 14 years (2012–2014) is a critical red flag.
- The first recorded MOT was in December 2014, a full 14 years after the vehicle's registration in January 2012.
- This significant data gap makes the vehicle's roadworthiness, safety, and legal status entirely unverifiable.
- The 15-year gap in MOT records directly contradicts the stated MOT expiry date of 2027-02-22, indicating a severe data anomaly.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a current, valid MOT certificate, expiring on 2027-02-22, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No evidence of odometer fraud is present in the provided MOT history, as mileage readings are consistent and plausible.
- The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests since the first recorded test in 2014, showing no immediate safety failures.
- The vehicle has a consistent annual mileage of approximately 8,554 miles, which is well within the UK average of 8,000 miles.
