This 2012 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 22,774 miles. The extremely low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 2020 service gap, warrants careful investigation.
The vehicle shows consistent low annual usage averaging 5,849 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 2020 MOT gap suggests potential off-road periods.
Things to check
- Extremely low annual mileage (5,849 mi/yr) for a 2012 vehicle raises questions about its true usage and potential for long periods of inactivity.
- A 2020 MOT gap is noted, suggesting the vehicle may have been off-road or not used during that period.
- The Feb 2025 MOT advisory for subframe corrosion, though not serious, is a concern for a 2012 vehicle.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
- No MOT failures recorded across 7 tests, demonstrating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,849 mi/yr) suggests light use and potentially lower wear on engine components.
- The 2012 Ford 998cc engine is known for its durability and simplicity, often extending service intervals.
