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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 14,262 miles. The MOT history itself is also highly suspicious with unexplained mileage and repeated failures.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (5,274 miles/yr) for its age, with a significant 14-month gap in recorded mileage between Oct 2020 and Aug 2021.

Things to check

  • Unresolved timing chain failure (community-reported) — a major safety and reliability concern.
  • Multiple high-risk coolant/engine issues (community-reported) — poses significant risk of costly repairs.
  • Mileage anomaly: 14-month gap (Oct 2020–Aug 2021) with only 79 miles recorded.
  • Recurring major failures: Emissions (Aug 2024), Exhaust (Oct 2019), Track rod (Aug 2021).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-27, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner is maintaining it.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,274 mi/yr) suggests light use.
  • No recurring failures on the same system in the last 3 years.
