This 2012 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 29,519 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2023-11-28, which is a significant concern.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,409 miles/year, with a notable drop in usage from 2019 to 2021 (13,316 miles in 2 years) and a further drop to 3,974 miles in 2022.
Things to check
- MOT currently Not valid (expiry 2023-11-28) — requires immediate retest.
- Recurring suspension failures (2020, 2022) and advisories (2017, 2022) indicate ongoing wear.
- Offside Front Tyre had a DANGEROUS defect in Sep 2017, though resolved.
- Emissions and suspension failures in 2020 and 2022 suggest potential neglect.
Working in its favour
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,409 miles/year, well below UK average.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects found in the MOT history.
- All past failures were immediately rectified and passed on retest, showing owner responsiveness.
- No recurring brake or steering failures, which are critical safety components.
