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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 15,176 miles. While many issues were resolved, the sheer volume of advisories and recurring faults suggests a vehicle that requires ongoing maintenance and vigilance.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,998 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage over its 14-year lifespan.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 10+ tests (Oct 2018, Nov 2021, Oct 2022, Oct 2023, Oct 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Multiple suspension and steering advisories (12+ related items) and failures (3+ major) point to a history of structural neglect.
- Brake pad and disc wear advisories (13+ items) and failures (2+ major) suggest a pattern of brake system degradation.
- The 2017-10-16 test shows a major failure for a position lamp, escalating to a major failure on 2024-11-01, indicating electrical system issues.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-07, offering immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (9,998 mi/yr) suggests genuine, non-abusive use.
- All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed subsequent retests, demonstrating owner responsiveness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation, which is a significant positive for this vehicle.
