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 61% pass rate and 18,141 miles. The mileage is suspiciously low for its age, and the recurring nature of critical safety components like suspension and steering is a major red flag.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 7,015 miles/year, with a significant drop from 64,725 miles in Oct 2020 to 68,139 miles in Oct 2021, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Sep 2025): Nearside Front Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its s
  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2024): Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • Dangerous Tyre failures on 2016-10-20 and 2017-10-06 indicate severe neglect.
  • Dangerous Brake failures on 2016-10-20 and 2017-10-06 point to systemic safety issues.

Working in its favour

  • MOT valid until 2026-09-30, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, despite low annual usage.
  • No major structural corrosion or write-off markers on DVLA data.
