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 67% pass rate and 31,561 miles. While recent tests show resolution, the underlying wear and tear suggest a higher risk.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (31,561 mi over 14 years) until Oct 2024, followed by normal usage, indicating a period of inactivity or underuse.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (coil spring, ball joint) in Oct 2021 and Oct 2024.
  • Recurring brake disc wear advisories in Nov 2018 and Oct 2021.
  • Significant mileage anomaly: only 630 miles/year recorded before Oct 2024.
  • Three MOT failures in 9 tests, including a steering system failure in Apr 2015.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent tests (Oct 2025).
  • Consistent annual mileage since Oct 2024, indicating normal usage.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
