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 19 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 28,141 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with critical safety components warrant careful inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,710 miles/year, but a significant drop in annual usage (3,027 miles in 2025 and 2,027 miles in 2026) is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Feb 2021, Feb 2023).
  • Persistent lighting issues, including major failures and numerous advisories (e.g., Feb 2021, Feb 2023).
  • Recent annual mileage has significantly decreased (e.g., 3,027 miles in 2025, 2,027 miles in 2026).
  • Multiple tyre advisories (e.g., Jan 2019, Feb 2021) and a brake system advisory (e.g., Feb 2023).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-18, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 8,710 miles/year, aligning with UK norms.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • All past failures were immediately rectified and passed on retest, showing responsive ownership.
