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 71% pass rate and 33,835 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of dangerous tyre failures and recurring advisories on critical safety systems warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows a significant mileage anomaly on 13 Feb 2019, with a 999-mile decrease between a failed and retest MOT, indicating a potential odometer fraud or data entry error.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre failures recorded on 13 Feb 2019 and 07 Aug 2017, indicating severe neglect of critical safety components.
- Recurring brake pad advisories across 3 separate tests (May 2023, Jun 2023, Jun 2025) suggest a systemic wear issue.
- Unusually low annual mileage (2,064 miles in 2024, 3,218 miles in 2023) for a 2012 vehicle is a red flag for potential odometer fraud.
- The 999-mile mileage decrease on 13 Feb 2019 is a critical odometer fraud indicator, suggesting potential tampering.
Working in its favour
- Vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-06-09, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or recurring major defects are present in the MOT history.
- The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing prompt owner attention to rectify issues.
- The 2.0 EcoBoost diesel engine is known for its durability and reliability, a positive for this model.
