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 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 11,357 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring major failures and advisories on critical safety systems like brakes, suspension, and tyres is a major concern.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,653 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in suspension (Jun 2022, Feb 2024, Jan 2025) and brakes (Jun 2022, Feb 2024) indicate structural neglect.
  • Tyre advisories appear in 8 separate tests, showing a persistent wear pattern across multiple years.
  • The 2015-06-16 MOT failure for a registration plate lamp and stop lamp, combined with a 2016-05-10 advisory for worn tyres, suggests a history of basic maintenance issues.
  • The 2016-05-10 advisory for worn tyres on both front sides, combined with the 2016-06-29 retest, indicates a reactive approach to maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-02-07, providing peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Mileage is consistent and normal for its age, averaging 7,653 miles/year, suggesting light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has passed 9 out of 13 MOT tests, showing it has been roadworthy for most of its life.
