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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 15,801 miles. The recent MOT pass in March 2026 followed a failure, and advisories for exhaust and suspension components are present.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,336 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though recent annual usage has been significantly lower.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 7 tests (May 2015, 2019, 2020) indicate persistent wear.
  • Brake system advisories (May 2019, 2020) escalated to a DANGEROUS failure in May 2020.
  • Major suspension failure (May 2022) for a serious leak in the nearside rear shock absorber.
  • Exhaust advisory noted in the most recent test (Mar 2026) suggests an ongoing issue.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage averaging 8,336 miles/year aligns well with typical UK usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
