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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 1,274 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the extremely low mileage combined with recurring tyre and exhaust advisories makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows only 1,274 miles recorded at its first MOT in September 2015, which is a critical anomaly for a 2012 car and strongly suggests odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage of 1,274 miles over 14 years is a critical red flag for potential odometer fraud.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Oct 2018, Sep 2021, Oct 2022, Oct 2023) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring exhaust advisories (Sep 2021, Oct 2024) suggest a persistent underlying issue.
- The 2015-09-22 MOT recorded only 1,274 miles for a 2012 vehicle is a major fraud indicator.
Working in its favour
- Vehicle has a valid MOT until October 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
