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 14,061 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the underlying issues and low usage make this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 50,694 miles over 14 years, significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, raising serious odometer integrity concerns.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 50,694 mi over 14 years.
- Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures (Nov 2018, Nov 2019) indicate chronic neglect.
- Critical headlamp aim failures (Nov 2015) suggest broader electrical or mechanical issues.
- Brake hose excessively chafed (Nov 2021) is a serious safety defect that was not immediately rectified.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-16, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like engine or transmission.
- Consistent retest passes after failures show issues were addressed.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
