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 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 24,882 miles. The car's MOT status is also currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-03-09, which is highly irregular.
The vehicle shows a 14-year history with only 60,743 miles, including a 3-year gap (May 2018-May 2022) and a 15.7× higher annual usage before May 2017, strongly suggesting odometer tampering.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY GAPS: No MOT recorded for 3 years (May 2018–May 2022), a critical red flag for unverified mileage.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: Unusually high mileage before May 2017 (15,663 mi/yr equivalent), followed by suspiciously low usage (18 mi/yr equivalent) before Jul 2024.
- MILEAGE DISCREPANCY: Total mileage of 60,743 miles is significantly below average for a 2012 Ford (typical: 100,633 mi, n=240 vehicles).
- MOT STATUS: Currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-03-09, which is highly irregular for a 2012 vehicle.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded for the most recent test (Mar 2025).
- No recurring major failures on the same system across multiple tests.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until March 2026, despite the current 'Not valid' status.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
