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 28,986 miles. While failures were promptly rectified, the sheer volume of advisories across multiple tests indicates a vehicle that requires thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,075 miles per year, with a notable drop to 1,480 miles between July 2024 and July 2025, suggesting very light recent use.
Things to check
- Recurring advisories on critical safety systems (tyres, steering, brakes, suspension) across multiple MOTs.
- Consistent pattern of wear advisories on steering rack and suspension arm components.
- Low annual mileage (5,075 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle suggests minimal use and potential neglect.
- Two failures with no defect details (Jul 2024, Jul 2025) are a significant concern for buyer transparency.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,075 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- All prior failures were immediately rectified, demonstrating responsive ownership.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
