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 22,368 miles. While it has a long MOT, the consistent wear on critical systems suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.
The vehicle exhibits very low annual mileage averaging 4,492 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage between 2019 and 2021, but no signs of odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories from 2019 to 2023, escalating to dangerous defects, indicate chronic wear.
- Suspension arm corrosion noted in Apr 2022 and Apr 2023, suggesting structural weakness.
- Engine MIL inoperative or malfunctioning (Apr 2020) and exhaust issues (Apr 2019) point to underlying engine problems.
- Brake disc wear and pitting (Apr 2026) and pad wear (Apr 2026) are recurring issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- The 5.4L diesel engine is known for its durability and reliability.
