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 71% pass rate and 10,750 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,647 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., +3,569 miles between May 2023 and May 2024).

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush likely to become detached (May 2025).
  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (May 2025).
  • Recurring MAJOR failures: Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (Jun 2023 advisory, May 2025 failure).
  • Recurring MAJOR failures: Emissions system failures (Jun 2023 failure, May 2025 failure).

Working in its favour

  • Current MOT valid until 2027-05-08, indicating a recent pass despite history.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT data.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, showing immediate repairs.
  • No recurring failures in critical safety systems like brakes or steering were noted in the most recent MOTs.
