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 78,741 miles. The vehicle also shows a significant drop in annual mileage before 2020, which warrants investigation.
The vehicle shows a suspiciously low mileage of 832 miles/year equivalent before Sep 2020, followed by normal usage of 9,694 miles/year from 2020 onwards.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (Oct 2023, Nov 2025) and steering advisories (Sep 2022) indicate ongoing wear.
- Dangerous defect recorded for the Offside Front Track rod end ball joint (Oct 2023) is a serious safety concern.
- Mileage dropped significantly to 832 miles/year equivalent before Sep 2020, suggesting periods of inactivity or low use.
- Multiple MINOR and ADVISORY windscreen defects across 4 tests (Sep 2021, Oct 2023, Oct 2024, Nov 2025) suggest a chronic issue.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until November 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage of 9,694 miles/year since 2020, indicating normal usage.
- No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering (except for the dangerous defect).
