AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 40,489 miles. The recurring major failures and advisories, combined with a 2011 MOT gap, present significant unverified risks.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jun 2012 (63 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant spike in annual usage, indicating potential odometer fraud or a major change in usage patterns.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY GAPS: No MOT recorded for 2011, a critical 3-year period for a 2008 vehicle.
- EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE: Recorded 63 miles/year equivalent before Jun 2012, a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
- RECURRING MAJOR FAILURES: 7 major failures across lights and emissions, with 2 failures in Jan 2012 for stop lamps and registration plate lamps.
- UNVERIFIED HISTORY: The 2011 MOT gap, combined with suspiciously low early mileage, makes this vehicle's true condition and history unverified.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this 2008 Ford, given the significant red flags and unverified history.
