This 2012 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 32,688 miles. While many failures were promptly rectified, the consistent advisories for tyres and exhaust system, combined with a dangerous brake disc advisory, indicate a car that requires careful inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,947 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage over 14 years.
Things to check
- Dangerous rear brake disc advisory (Jan 2019) indicates significant wear on critical safety component.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2019, Jan 2020, Sep 2021, May 2026) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
- Recurring exhaust system advisories (Jan 2020, May 2026) point to ongoing issues with this component.
- Recurring sill and ball joint advisories (Jan 2020, May 2026) indicate persistent suspension wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until June 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (7,947 mi/yr) suggests regular use rather than neglect.
- All past failures were promptly rectified, demonstrating the owner's ability to address issues.
