This 2012 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 16,014 miles. The recent high mileage jump and low overall usage for its age warrant careful investigation.
The vehicle shows a significant mileage anomaly: 61,411 miles by Jan 2026, but only 16,014 miles by July 2015, with a 14,467-mile jump in the last year.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below average for its age: 61,411 miles over 14 years.
- Unusually high mileage jump in last year (Jan 2026): 14,467 miles in one year.

- Recurring brake disc advisories (Jun 2018, Mar 2020, Mar 2021).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent annual mileage increases, despite the recent high jump.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
