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 78% pass rate and 30,459 miles. The vehicle's past issues with overheating and engine lockup are also highly concerning, making it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage shows a significant anomaly: 39,532 miles in the first 3.6 years (Jan 2012 to Feb 2016), then 466 miles in the next 3.6 years (Feb 2016 to Dec 2022), followed by normal usage from 2023 onwards.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre failures on 2016-07-18 and 2016-02-01 indicate severe neglect.
  • Recurring suspension arm corrosion advisories on 2025-12-15, 2024-12-16, and 2023-12-20 are a major safety concern.
  • Mileage anomaly: 39,532 miles in first 3.6 years (Feb 2016), then 466 miles in next 3.6 years (Feb 2016 to Dec 2022).
  • Engine overheating and coolant migration issues (community report) are severe and unaddressed.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-12-30, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects were recorded in the last 12 months.
  • The car has consistently passed its retests after initial failures, showing immediate repairs.
