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 67% pass rate and 24,172 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2023 service gap, raises significant reliability concerns.

The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (156 mi/yr equivalent) before Nov 2021, followed by a significant drop in annual usage, which is highly unusual for a 2012 car.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Tyre not fitted (Jul 2015) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm (Jul 2016) — critical safety failure.
  • Recurring suspension failures: Offside Front Coil spring fractured (Sep 2025) — repeated system weakness.
  • Recurring tyre failures: Rear Tyre tear (Sep 2025) — pattern of neglect on critical safety components.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-21 — current roadworthiness certification.
  • No mileage anomalies since Nov 2021 — consistent usage since then.
  • Immediate retest passes: All failures were rectified and passed on the same or next day.
  • No recurring major failures: No single system has failed repeatedly since the dangerous defects.
