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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 25,582 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly irregular, with periods of very low annual usage.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in annual usage from 2019 onwards, with only 3,871 miles recorded between Sep 2022 and Sep 2023, indicating potential periods of inactivity or storage.
Things to check
- Major Engine/Oil failure recorded on 2025-08-01 — a critical safety and reliability concern.
- Recurring Tyre advisories across 11 tests (Jul 2019, May 2021, Aug 2024, Aug 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Major Lights failure on 2022-12-01, following multiple advisories, points to persistent electrical issues.
Working in its favour
- Mileage is consistent with UK average, averaging 9,142 miles per year.
- MOT is currently valid until 2026-09-13, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No recurring failures in the same system category (e.g., brakes, suspension) are present in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has a consistent MOT history, with all failures being addressed and retested successfully.
