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 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 36,956 miles. While recent advisories are minor, the recurring nature of tyre wear and a major suspension failure warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 8,457 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent period of very low usage (2,992 miles in 2025).
Things to check
- 2015-02-07: Major failure for Nearside Rear Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn.
- 2015-02-07: Major failure for Nearside Front Position lamp not working.
- 2021-05-31: Advisory for Nearside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of requirements.
- 2023-06-01: Advisory for Nearside Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-12, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (8,457 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) since the 2015 failure.
