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 18 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 10,217 miles. The extremely low annual mileage for its age raises significant questions about its maintenance and true condition.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,551 miles per year, with a suspiciously low 26-mile increase between the Dec 2020 FAIL and PASS.

Things to check

  • Recurring structural corrosion on offside front/rear sills and seatbelt anchorage (2019, 2020).
  • Multiple suspension failures and advisories across 2019 and 2020 MOTs.
  • Major bodywork failure and 5 related advisories in 2019 and 2020.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (5,551 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Recent clean MOT pass on 2020-12-30, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage trajectory, despite being very low, shows no suspicious gaps.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT test.
