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 20,702 miles. The mileage is low, but the vehicle's safety record is severely compromised.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,827 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the MOT history reveals a persistent and dangerous pattern of tyre failures.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Dec 2025): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • DANGEROUS tyre failures recorded in 7 separate MOT tests (e.g., Oct 2020, Sep 2021, Jul 2022).
  • Recurring major failures in emissions (Oct 2020, Sep 2021), steering (Sep 2021, Jul 2022), and lights (Oct 2020, Jul 2022).
  • Engine oil advisory recurring across 2 separate tests (Oct 2020, Jul 2022) indicates a persistent issue.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,827 miles/year, indicating light usage.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-21, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
