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 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 20,027 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of repeated advisories and failures on critical safety components warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,774 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 3,372 miles in 2023).
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (Mar 2022, Mar 2025, Mar 2026).
- Persistent tyre wear advisories and a DANGEROUS failure (Jun 2019, Mar 2023, Mar 2025).
- Brake system advisories recurring across 3 separate tests (Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2024).
- Significant mileage drop from 7,750 miles/year (2019-2021) to 3,372 miles/year (2023).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
- Consistent annual servicing intervals (12,500 miles or 12 months).
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT.
