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 73% pass rate and 15,230 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with critical safety components warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,967 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 14,047-mile jump in 2022-2023 is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures (May 2021, May 2021, Jun 2023) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (May 2022, May 2023) suggest underlying wear.
  • Recurring engine oil advisories (May 2022, May 2023) point to a potential leak.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (May 2022, May 2023) suggest ongoing wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (8,967 mi/yr) for its age.
  • No major structural corrosion or recurring brake failures.
