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 23 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 42,645 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (6,876 miles/yr) for its 18 years, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, raising odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure (Dec 2023) and recurring brake advisories indicate severe neglect.
- Recurring Engine MIL failures (Dec 2022, 2023) and advisories (Dec 2025) point to unresolved engine issues.
- Recurring Tyre advisories (Dec 2011, 2012, 2013) and failures (Dec 2013) suggest chronic tyre wear.
- The 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2008 Ford is significantly below average, raising safety concerns.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until December 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check) is present in the provided data.
- The car has consistently passed its MOT tests after initial failures, showing some level of maintenance.
- The 2.0 EcoBoost engine is known for its durability and reliability, which is a positive for this specific variant.
