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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 21,285 miles. While mileage is low, the repeated issues suggest ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,852 miles per year, with a notable drop to 1,422 miles between Jan 2020 and Jan 2021.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories (10+ instances) across multiple years indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (4+ instances) suggest a history of poor maintenance or alignment issues.
  • Dangerous defect: Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Sep 2017) — a serious safety failure.
  • Dangerous defect: Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (Jan 2024) — a significant structural failure.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until January 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (4,852 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • No recurring major failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
