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 83% pass rate and 3,092 miles. The single failure in 2020 was promptly rectified, but the repeated advisories for critical wear items suggest potential upcoming maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,158 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.
Things to check
- Recurring coil spring advisories across 5 separate MOT tests (Oct 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 separate MOT tests (Oct 2018, 2022, 2023, 2024) suggest a history of poor tyre maintenance.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories across 2 separate MOT tests (Oct 2020, 2021) point to a pattern of wear.
- The single failure on 2020-10-02 for a side repeater was promptly rectified, but the lack of detail is a minor concern.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-28, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,158 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear on components.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
