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 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 62,226 miles. The mileage trajectory is consistent, but the vehicle's past maintenance and safety record are highly concerning.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,634 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but the vehicle has covered 132,933 miles since its first MOT in 2018.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2015-05-22 (62,226 mi) indicates severe neglect.
  • Recurring suspension arm failures (2016, 2018, 2022) and advisories (2023, 2025) point to chronic structural wear.
  • Recurring brake disc and pad failures (2019, 2021, 2025) and advisories (2025) suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance.
  • Recurring CV boot and seatbelt failures (2015, 2016) and advisories (2025) highlight a history of electrical and safety system issues.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,634 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until October 2026, confirming current roadworthiness.
