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 47,260 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of tyre wear and potential engine issues warrants a thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with suspiciously low usage (112 mi/yr equivalent) before Feb 2023 and again before Feb 2024, followed by normal annual usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Mar 2025, Mar 2026) and a DANGEROUS tyre defect (Feb 2017) indicate chronic wear.
- Brake system advisories (Mar 2025, Mar 2026) and a DANGEROUS tyre defect (Feb 2017) point to systemic neglect.
- Emissions failures (Mar 2026) and a PRS on Aug 2021 suggest ongoing exhaust system issues.
- A 2022 service gap is noted, raising questions about the vehicle's maintenance history.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are currently outstanding from the MOT history.
- The car has consistently passed its MOTs since the initial failures were addressed.
- The mileage is consistent with normal UK usage since 2019, averaging 8,617 miles/year.
