This 2012 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 47,200 miles.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,501 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2022 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (2018, 2020, 2025) and a major exhaust failure (Jul 2025) indicate high wear and maintenance needs.
- Multiple tyre advisories (2018, 2021, 2023, 2024) suggest a history of poor tyre maintenance or alignment issues.
- A 2022 service gap in the MOT history is a concern for potential unrecorded maintenance or off-road periods.
- The 2016-09-15 failed MOT for headlamp aim was immediately rectified, but this is a minor electrical system failure.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 07-03-2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,501 miles/year, indicating normal usage and no odometer fraud.
- No DANGEROUS defects are present in the MOT history, suggesting no immediate safety-critical failures.
