This 2012 Ford has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 11,286 miles. While many issues were resolved, the sheer volume of advisories and failures across critical systems warrants a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent annual usage, averaging 9,011 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low figures, indicating normal mileage for its age.
Things to check
- Recurring exhaust emissions failures/advisories across 5 tests (Sep 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024).
- Persistent suspension component advisories (coil spring, CV boot, arm) in 4+ separate tests.
- Recurring brake disc wear advisories in 4+ separate tests (Sep 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022).
- Multiple light failures (Sep 2020, 2022) and lamp advisories (Sep 2019, 2024).
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-18, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (9,011 mi/yr) for its age.
- All past failures were immediately rectified, showing responsive ownership.
