2012 Ford 2.2L Diesel · LO12 EOX

The most recent MOT in March 2026 was a pass, but it included several significant defects. These included severely deteriorated CV boots on both front outer shafts, rear tyres worn close to the legal limit, and corrosion on the offside front and offside rear brake pipes. There is a recurring pattern of issues regarding tyre wear and the condition of the CV boots. The CV boots were noted as split or insecure during a failed test in 2025 and showed severe deterioration again in 2026. The tyres have also been a consistent point of concern across multiple years. The overall condition trend appears to be worsening, as the defects have progressed from minor items like lighting and headlamp aim to more serious concerns involving brake pipes and CV boots. The mileage of 103,372 is roughly typical for a vehicle of this age, representing about 7,384 miles per year. This level of usage suggests the car has been driven regularly, which is consistent with the age-related wear seen on the consumables and mechanical components. A buyer should inspect it carefully. The most important checks are to examine the brake pipes for any further corrosion and to check the condition of the CV boots and all tyres.
