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 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 11,154 miles. The 1.6mm tyre defect in 2019 and subsequent advisories suggest a pattern of wear that needs thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows 59,274 miles at its most recent MOT in July 2025, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, raising concerns about potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 59,274 mi (Jul 2025) vs typical 100,633 mi for a 2012 FORD.
- Offside Front Tyre tread depth below 1.6mm (Jul 2019) is a dangerous defect that was only addressed as an advisory in subsequent tests.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-27, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
- Consistent annual mileage increases since 2018, despite being below average.
