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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 9,679 miles. Furthermore, the MOT history reveals a pattern of recurring suspension and brake issues, including a dangerous tyre defect.

The vehicle shows only 9,679 miles over 14 years, a significant anomaly from the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 9,679 miles in 14 years (Jan 2012 to Apr 2016) — indicates possible odometer fraud.
  • Recurring suspension advisories: Coil spring fractured (Apr 2024 FAIL), corroded arm (Apr 2025 FAIL), and worn (Apr 2026 PASS).
  • Recurring brake advisories: Discs worn (Apr 2024 FAIL), pitted (Apr 2025 FAIL), and thin (Apr 2026 PASS).
  • Dangerous tyre defect: Cut in excess of requirements (Apr 2018 FAIL) — indicates poor maintenance history.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the April 2026 retest pass.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases since the 2022 MOT gap, showing no recent anomalies.
  • No outstanding recalls or major structural corrosion noted in the MOT history.
