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 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 28,696 miles. A 3-year MOT gap (Jul 2019-Nov 2022) combined with multiple major failures and a dangerous tyre defect raises significant concerns.

The vehicle shows normal annual usage (7,215 miles/yr) from 2015 to 2025, but a critical 3-year MOT gap (Jul 2019-Nov 2022) means mileage during this period is unverified and cannot be confirmed.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear coil spring broken (2016-08-01 FAILED test).
  • MAJOR recurring failure: Suspension system failures (2017-07-17 ADVISORY, 2016-08-01 FAILED test).
  • MAJOR failure: Engine/Oil system failure (2016-08-01 FAILED test).
  • Critical 3-year MOT gap: No test recorded for 3 years (Jul 2019-Nov 2022).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-28, offering immediate roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual mileage (7,215 miles/yr) since 2015, indicating normal usage.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current roadworthiness.
