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 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 44,307 miles. While these were addressed, the sheer volume of advisories and failures, particularly concerning brakes, warrants a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 9,113 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual usage has fluctuated.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (Jan 2020, Jan 2022, Feb 2023).
  • Offside Rear Suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened (Feb 2023) — a major structural concern.
  • Exhaust system advisories noted in 3 separate tests (Jan 2020, Jan 2022, Feb 2023).
  • Multiple brake-related advisories and failures (Jan 2020, Jan 2022, Feb 2023) indicate a history of brake wear.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until February 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 18 years, averaging 9,113 miles annually, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • All major failures (brakes, suspension, lights) were immediately rectified and passed subsequent retests, showing responsive ownership.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
