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 48,510 miles. The mileage is low for its age, but the extensive advisory history and unexplained high mileage in early years present significant risks.

The vehicle shows a significant drop in annual mileage from 2018 (78,681 mi) to 2022 (110,129 mi), with unusually low usage of 3,877 miles/year between 2023 and 2024, raising odometer integrity concerns.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories across 4 tests (Apr 2026) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories across 3 tests (Apr 2026) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Recurring subframe corrosion advisories across 4 tests (Apr 2026) is a major structural concern.
  • Recurring coil spring advisories across 5 tests (Apr 2026) point to a pattern of suspension neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Mileage is low for its age, suggesting less overall wear and tear.
  • No major recurring failures in critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
  • The 2017-09-12 failed MOT for headlamp aim was immediately rectified.
