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.
