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 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 15,855 miles. The vehicle's low annual usage for its age, combined with a 42,737-mile decrease, makes its true condition and reliability impossible to assess.
The mileage trajectory is highly anomalous: 50,394 miles by Sep 2018, then 121,616 miles by Sep 2023, but only 78,879 miles by Aug 2024, indicating a 42,737-mile decrease.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Sep 2023 (121,616 mi) and Aug 2024 (78,879 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased by 42,737 miles between Sep 2023 (121,616 mi) and Aug 2024 (78,879 mi).
- Unusually high mileage jump of 11.3× before Sep 2023 (51,398 mi/yr equivalent).
- First registration Jan 2008, but no MOT tests recorded for 10 years (Jan 2008–Jun 2011).
Working in its favour
- Vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-09-19, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded in the last test (Sep 2025).
- Consistent annual mileage for the first 10 years (Jan 2008–Jun 2011) suggests regular use.
- No recurring major system failures (brakes, suspension, steering) are evident in the MOT history.
