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 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 12,155 miles. The very low annual mileage for its age, combined with a single major failure for a windscreen wiper, warrants a thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 23,557 miles over 14 years, averaging only 1,661 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 23,557 mi over 14 years (Jan 2012) — bottom 10% for age.
- Very low annual usage: 1,661 miles/year — raises odometer fraud concerns and potential long-term inactivity.
- Single major failure: Windscreen wiper failure (Oct 2019) — indicates a period of neglect or poor maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Strong MOT record: 9 of 10 tests passed with no dangerous defects recorded.
- Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind for over 3 years.
- No recurring major failures: Single wiper failure in 2019, no pattern of structural neglect.
- Consistent recent passes: Last 5 consecutive MOT passes (2020–2026) with no failures.
