AI verdict AVOID 30/100
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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 18,330 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and recent high mileage jump, combined with a 30,000-mile odometer discrepancy, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory shows a 30,000-mile discrepancy on 06 Feb 2025, followed by a 33,546-mile jump before Feb 2025, and a 7.6× increase in annual usage, indicating severe odometer fraud.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 15 Jun 2018, immediately followed by a pass.
- Recurring subframe corrosion advisories on 15 Jun 2018, 27 Jun 2017, and 15 Feb 2023.
- Critical mileage anomaly: 30,000-mile odometer discrepancy on 06 Feb 2025.
- Recurring coil spring failures on 15 Jun 2018 and 15 Feb 2023.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 22 Feb 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the last pass in Feb 2026.
- Consistent annual mileage before the 30,000-mile discrepancy.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like steering or engine.
