This 2012 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 55,775 miles. The mileage trajectory is consistent, but the underlying mechanical issues and owner-reported faults make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,793 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the vehicle has covered over 145,000 miles.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded on 2023-06-20 and 2023-06-20.
  • Recurring brake advisories (pads, discs) across 2023, 2025, and 2025 tests.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (bushes, joints) across 2023, 2025, and 2025 tests.
  • Recurring exhaust advisories (hangers, mounts) across 2023 and 2025 tests.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,793 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • All past MOT failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or subsequent day.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
