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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 19,902 miles. While mileage is consistent, the number of failures and advisories for a 14-year-old vehicle warrants careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,372 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage for its age.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures in suspension (Aug 2023, 2024, 2025) and exhaust (Aug 2023, 2024, 2025) indicate ongoing structural wear.
- Multiple advisories for seatbelt fraying (Apr 2019, 2015) and tyre wear (Aug 2020, 2017) suggest a reactive maintenance approach.
- The Offside Rear Seat belt webbing advisory from Apr 2019 and Jul 2022 was never fully resolved, a safety concern.
- The Nearside Front Inner Tyre worn close to legal limit advisory from Aug 2020 and Nearside Rear tyre advisory from 2017 were ignored, leading to future failures.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until August 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Mileage is consistent and normal for its age, averaging 7,372 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
