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 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 72,380 miles. The high mileage and recurring wear items warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 14,419 miles/year, with a notable drop in usage from 2022 onwards, but no suspicious drops or round numbers.

Things to check

  • High annual mileage (14,419 mi/yr) suggests increased wear and tear.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (2015, 2016, 2016) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (2015, 2016, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2023) suggest a pattern of component replacement.
  • Engine overheating and timing chain issues are reported in community knowledge for this model.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage drops.
