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 79% pass rate and 15,341 miles. The vehicle's age and specific advisories warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,573 miles per year, with a significant 2019 service gap and inconsistent mileage readings.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (Jan 2026, Jan 2023, Dec 2013) and failures (Dec 2013) indicate ongoing system wear.
- The 2019 MOT gap suggests a period of inactivity or unrecorded use, which can impact component longevity.
- Feb 2020 advisory for 'all tyres perished' is a recurring issue, suggesting a pattern of neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until February 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent low mileage (3,573 mi/yr) suggests light use, potentially reducing wear on certain components.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects are recorded in the MOT history.
