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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 7,608 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with recurring suspension issues and a 2015-10-13 tyre advisory, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 7,608 miles over 14 years (Jun 2019: 28,303 mi, May 2025: 58,125 mi), which is significantly below average and raises serious odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below average: 7,608 miles over 14 years (Jun 2019: 28,303 mi, May 2025: 58,125 mi).
- Four major suspension failures (Jun 2020, May 2023, May 2024, May 2025) indicate chronic neglect.
- Two major emissions failures (Jun 2020, May 2024) suggest underlying engine issues.
- Recurring tyre advisories (May 2023, May 2024) point to ongoing wear and tear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until June 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (May 2025).
- Consistent annual mileage increases, despite being low for its age.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
