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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 12,979 miles. While mileage is consistent, the extensive history of wear items and the recent MOT pass after a significant failure warrant a thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,401 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage over its 14-year lifespan.
Things to check
- Extensive recurring major failures in suspension (4 times) and brakes (10 advisories) across multiple tests.
- Major failure for Nearside Rear Axle swivel pins and bushes on 2026-02-11, a critical safety component.
- Major failure for Offside Rear Axle swivel pins and bushes on 2026-02-11, a critical safety component.
- Major failure for Nearside Front Position lamp not working on 2026-02-11, a basic safety item.
