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 80% pass rate and 20,044 miles. While recent tests show resolution, the underlying issues and owner-reported faults for this model type present significant long-term risks.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,670 miles/year, with a notable dip to 1,741 miles between Feb 2022 and Oct 2022, and another to 4,396 miles between Mar 2021 and Feb 2022.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures: Headlamp (Oct 2022, Oct 2025), Exhaust leak (Oct 2022, Oct 2025), Brake disc (Oct 2023, Oct 2025), Suspension arm (Oct 2022, Oct 2025).
  • Recurring advisories: Brakes (Mar 2021, Oct 2023, Oct 2025), Suspension (Feb 2022, Oct 2022, Oct 2025).
  • Unexplained low usage: Significant drops in annual mileage (e.g., 1,741 miles 2022–2023) suggest periods of inactivity or neglect.
  • Community-reported faults: Overheating, 2.0 EcoBoost coolant migration, head gasket, timing chain, window regulator — all high-risk for this model.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent low mileage (5,670 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
  • All major failures (headlamp, exhaust, brakes, suspension) were immediately rectified and passed subsequent retests.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud; mileage trajectory is consistent with reported usage.
