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 20,099 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the vehicle's past maintenance and mileage integrity warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (37 mi/yr equivalent) before Oct 2019 and again before Jan 2020, followed by normal usage, indicating a potential data anomaly or period of inactivity.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories (Dec 2023, Jan 2025) suggest ongoing wear and potential future costs.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (May 2015, May 2016) indicate a pattern of neglect in critical safety components.
  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage (37 mi/yr equivalent) before Oct 2019 and again before Jan 2020.
  • Mileage anomaly: Significant drop in annual usage (1,438 mi/yr) between Dec 2022 and Dec 2023.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
  • No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
  • Consistent annual mileage post-2020, indicating regular use and maintenance.
