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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 23,113 miles. The presence of a DANGEROUS brake failure in 2025, combined with a high number of advisories, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,249 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2025): Offside Front Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-04-25 (test 108021) — immediate safety concern.
  • Recurring major suspension failures (5+ tests) and 8 related advisories indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring major lighting failures (2+ tests) and 5 related advisories suggest persistent electrical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 8,249 miles/year, aligning with UK norms.
  • Valid MOT until 2027-04-29, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
