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 18 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 34,914 miles. While many issues were resolved, the frequency of these problems suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,830 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, including a significant jump of 14,973 miles in Sep 2023.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Sep 2022 – Sep 2023)
- Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures in Sep 2015 and Sep 2018 indicate poor maintenance.
- Major suspension failures in Sep 2017 and Sep 2022, with related advisories, point to ongoing wear.
- Persistent brake disc advisories from Sep 2019 to Nov 2025, despite retests, suggest a chronic issue.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until November 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage averaging 8,830 miles/year aligns well with typical UK usage.
- All past failures were promptly rectified, demonstrating the owner's proactive approach to maintenance.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies, which is a significant positive.
