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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 63,543 miles. The mileage trajectory is suspicious, and the vehicle's safety and reliability are severely compromised.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in annual usage from 2019 onwards, with only 2,972 miles recorded between July 2022 and July 2023, raising odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jul 2024): Offside Front Inner Tyre has ply or cords exposed Edge. (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
- Dangerous tyre defects recorded in July 2023 and July 2025 indicate critical safety neglect.
- Recurring major suspension failures and advisories, including a fractured coil spring in July 2025.
- Consistent advisories for worn tyres, wipers, and lights across multiple tests.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until July 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check) or write-off markers is present in the DVLA data.
- The car has consistently covered average mileage for its age, with no suspicious spikes or drops.
- The vehicle has a consistent service history, with no large gaps in its maintenance records.
