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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 38,702 miles. The recurring tyre failures and advisories, combined with a 2015-01-27 MOT record for a 2012 car, make this vehicle unassessable.
The MOT history shows a critical mileage anomaly: 549,000 miles on 12 Apr 2019, then a drastic decrease to 58,329 miles by 1 Jul 2020, indicating possible odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Apr 2019 (549,000 mi) and Jul 2020 (58,329 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased by 490,671 miles between 12 Apr 2019 (549,000 mi) and 1 Jul 2020 (58,329 mi).
- Unusually large mileage difference (494,100 mi) between retest pair on 12 Apr 2019.
- 2015-01-27 MOT record for a 2012 vehicle is a critical data inconsistency.
Working in its favour
- Vehicle has a valid MOT until 1 Aug 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2023, albeit low for its age.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Jul 2025).
