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 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 81,752 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 16,415 miles/year, with a notable drop in usage from 2019 (13,285 miles) to 2021 (7,402 miles), indicating potential periods of lighter use.

Things to check

  • Mar 2023: Major failure for Offside Front coil spring, a recurring suspension issue.
  • Mar 2023: Major failure for Parking brake efficiency below requirements.
  • Mar 2023: High mileage (184,345 miles) for a 2012 vehicle.
  • Mar 2023: Recurring advisories for brake disc wear and suspension arm issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent MOT history with no major gaps or unexplained periods of inactivity.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage readings.
  • All major failures were promptly rectified and retested successfully.
