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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 22,467 miles. The vehicle's age and mileage trajectory warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,173 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories from 2017 to 2025, escalating to major failures, indicate chronic wear.
  • Four major suspension failures (2022, 2023, 2025) and one steering failure (2025) suggest ongoing structural neglect.
  • The 2015-11-13 MOT recorded only 22,467 miles, a significant anomaly for a 2012 vehicle.
  • The 2017-11-06 MOT noted a worn nearside front tyre close to legal limit, a classic 'just passed' advisory.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-12, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,173 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
  • The 2018-11-05 MOT passed with no advisories, showing a clean record at that time.
