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 67% pass rate and 38,588 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with critical safety components warrant a thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,433 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2024 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jan 2025): Nearside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (7+ tests) and shock absorber advisories (Aug 2025) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Brake pad wear escalated from ADVISORY (Oct 2019) to DANGEROUS (Oct 2021), a clear safety concern.
  • Tyre condition escalated from ADVISORY (Oct 2019) to DANGEROUS (Jan 2025), showing a pattern of critical wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,433 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • Valid MOT until August 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
