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 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 27,911 miles. Recent advisories for brake wear and recurring lighting issues warrant careful inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,515 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating normal usage over 14 years.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre failures on 2019-04-27 and 2022-10-02 indicate a history of poor maintenance.
- Major Nearside Front Sub-frame ball joint excessively worn on 2019-04-27 is a significant structural concern.
- Front Brake disc seriously weakened on 2019-04-27, a dangerous defect, points to neglect.
- Recurring front tyre advisories (2019, 2022) and rear tyre advisories (2021, 2022) suggest a pattern of wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (7,515 mi/yr) suggests light, non-abusive use.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like engine or transmission.
- All past failures were promptly rectified and passed retests, showing responsive ownership.
