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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 6,087 miles. This extreme low mileage, combined with a 3-year MOT gap and a dangerous tyre defect, makes this vehicle an extremely high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows only 6,087 miles recorded since its 2012 registration, with a 3-year MOT gap (Feb 2019–Jul 2022) and suspiciously low annual usage.
Things to check
- Critical: Only 6,087 miles recorded over 14 years (Jan 2012–Feb 2019: 0 mi; Feb 2019–Jul 2022: 0 mi; Jul 2022–Feb 2019: 24,513 mi).
- Dangerous defect: Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below 1.6mm (Jul 2023) — immediate safety concern.
- MOT history gap: No MOT recorded for 3 years (Feb 2019–Jul 2022) — unverified mileage and safety status.
- Recurring tyre issues: Multiple tyre advisories and failures across 6 tests (Jul 2023, Jul 2024, Jun 2025, Feb 2026).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-05 — no immediate retest required.
- No evidence of odometer fraud in the provided MOT history.
- No outstanding recalls or dangerous defects from the latest MOT test.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems (brakes, steering, suspension) — only tyres.
