This 2008 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 25,315 miles. The long gap in MOT history is a significant concern.
The vehicle shows normal annual usage (6,757 mi/yr) until a 6-year MOT history gap (Jul 2014–Aug 2020), after which mileage was consistently recorded.
Things to check
- Long MOT history gap: No test recorded for 6 years (Jul 2014–Aug 2020).
- Recurring brake/suspension advisories: Multiple advisories for brakes and suspension across 2012 and 2013 tests.
- Brake system failures: Major failures for brakes in 2012 and 2013, indicating past neglect.
- Exhaust system advisories: Recurring advisories for exhaust components in 2012 and 2013.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-02, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage post-gap, averaging 6,757 miles/year.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current maintenance.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage readings.
