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 19 MOT tests on record with a 84% pass rate and 5,855 miles. The recurring advisories for tyres, brakes, and suspension, combined with the very low usage, make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 1,409 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 13,194 miles in March 2019 to just 44 miles by March 2021, raising serious odometer integrity concerns.
Things to check
- Mileage is extremely low at 1,409 mi/yr average, highly suspicious for an 18-year-old vehicle.
- Mileage dropped from 13,194 miles in March 2019 to only 44 miles by March 2021, indicating potential fraud.
- Recurring advisories for tyres, brakes, and suspension across multiple tests suggest chronic neglect or poor maintenance.
- The 2011-04-08 test recorded a minor advisory for a damaged front road wheel and user-entered damage to the front bumper.
Working in its favour
- Vehicle has a valid MOT until March 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No major failures or dangerous defects are recorded in the MOT history.
- The car has been consistently registered and maintained its MOT status over the years.
- The Ford 1.2L engine is known for its durability and reliability, which is a positive aspect.
