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 69% pass rate and 93,859 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the SORN status and high usage warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 17,172 miles/year, with a notable drop in usage from 12,823 miles/year (Mar 2020) to 2,678 miles/year (Apr 2022) before returning to 11,937 miles/year (Apr 2023).

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2015-02-27 (Offside Front Headlamp insecure).
  • Recurring tyre advisories and failures across multiple tests (e.g., 2016-03-31, 2021-04-01).
  • High mileage (194,119 miles) suggests increased wear and tear on components.
  • SORN status indicates the vehicle is currently not taxed, requiring immediate attention.

Working in its favour

  • No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures, showing responsive ownership.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage readings.
