This 2012 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 12,532 miles. The very low mileage for its age, combined with a 1.2L engine, raises specific reliability concerns.
The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 2,270 miles/year, with a significant anomaly: 19,147 miles in Aug 2018, then only 1,175 miles in the subsequent 12 months (Aug 2019).
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 30,982 miles over 14 years (typical 100,633 miles).
- Very low mileage for a 2012 Ford (1.2L engine) raises concerns about engine longevity and service history.
Working in its favour
- Strong MOT pass record with no dangerous defects or major failures.
- Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or tampering in the provided MOT history.
- Consistent annual mileage increases since the initial low period.
