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 22 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 19,548 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and history of neglect warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle has consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,928 miles per year, with a notable increase in usage from 2021 onwards, but no suspicious drops or round numbers.
Things to check
- Jan 2024: Major failure for Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn.
- Jan 2026: Major failure for Front Brake disc significantly and obviously worn.
- Jan 2025: Advisory for Rear Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened.
- Jan 2024: Major failure for Offside Front Inner Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until January 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,928 mi/yr) suggests light use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
- All major failures were promptly rectified and passed subsequent MOTs.
