This 2012 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 4,663 miles. The pattern of neglect on wear items, coupled with a mileage anomaly, demands thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows very low usage averaging 2,916 miles/year, with a significant anomaly: a 3.6× higher usage (10,422 mi/yr equivalent) before Sep 2017, followed by extremely low annual mileage (1,427–3,204 mi/yr) from 2017 onwards.
Things to check
- Very low mileage (40,002 mi) for a 2012 car, suggesting limited use or potential odometer issues.
- The Sep 2018 MOT noted 'Oil leak, but not excessive' (8.4.1 (a) (i)), a common Ford issue.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-28, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures (e.g., Sep 2025 retest).
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
