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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 44,180 miles. The vehicle's age and mileage, combined with a 2020 service gap, raise significant reliability and ownership concerns.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage at 8,622 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but a 2020 service gap is a concern.

Things to check

  • 2020 MOT gap: No MOT recorded for 2020, indicating potential SORN or off-road use.
  • Recurring Suspension Issues: 8 advisories for suspension arm wear across 3 tests (2016, 2017, 2019).
  • Recurring Tyre Issues: 10 advisories for tyre wear across 5 tests (2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2024).
  • Recurring Engine Oil Issues: 2 advisories for engine oil wear across 6 tests (2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2024).
