AI verdict AVOID 61/100
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 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 11,945 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2026, the extremely low mileage for its age makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 11,945 miles recorded in Jan 2019, but only 62,898 miles by Sep 2025, indicating a significant discrepancy from the expected 100k+ for its age.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 11,945 miles over 14 years (Jan 2019) — high fraud risk.
- Mileage anomaly: 62,898 miles by Sep 2025 is 10% of expected for a 2012 car.
- First MOT in Jan 2019 at 30,090 miles is unusually late for a 2012 vehicle.
- Mileage trajectory shows inconsistent, low annual usage (e.g., +413 miles in 6 months).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 29 Sep 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring failures on the same system after initial repairs.
- Immediate retests after failures show prompt owner action.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
