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 16 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 36,165 miles. While it shows low mileage for its age, the recurring suspension advisories and past engine overheating issues warrant careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,774 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent 2-year period of very low usage (2024-2026).
Things to check
- Past overheating and head gasket issues (community reports) are significant long-term risks for this 2008 diesel.
- Low annual mileage (6,774 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle may indicate limited use or neglect.
Working in its favour
- Perfect MOT record: 8 consecutive passes with no failures or dangerous defects.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,774 mi/yr) suggests light, gentle use.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating good current condition.
- Long MOT validity until February 2027 provides peace of mind for the next two years.
