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.
