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 23 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 31,702 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing a 4-year period of only 2,663 miles, which is a clear red flag for potential odometer fraud.

The MOT history shows a critical 4-year period (May 2019 to Nov 2020) with only 2,663 miles recorded, which is highly suspicious and suggests potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: Only 2,663 miles recorded between May 2019 and Nov 2020, a 4-year period.
  • Recurring failures: 6 major failures across suspension, emissions, brakes, and lights.
  • Recurring advisories: 27 advisories on the same components (tyres, exhaust, ball joint, brake disc).
  • Dangerous defect: DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2012-01-11.

Working in its favour

  • Current MOT valid until 2026-12-05, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • No Cat N/S write-off markers are explicitly stated in the MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage (8,675 miles/yr) since the suspicious 4-year period.
