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 65% pass rate and 28,730 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and lack of a valid MOT present significant legal and safety risks.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (5,585 miles/yr) for its age, with a critical 19-year gap in MOT history and a 6-year period of no recorded MOTs.

Things to check

  • AVOID: 5 major suspension failures (Feb 2019, Oct 2020, Oct 2021, Nov 2023) and 11 related advisories.
  • AVOID: 19-year MOT history gap (Jan 2008 to Feb 2019) with no recorded tests or services.
  • AVOID: Vehicle is currently on SORN status with no valid MOT, posing significant legal and safety risks.
  • AVOID: Recurring brake hose advisories (14 occurrences) and subframe corrosion (5 occurrences) are major structural concerns.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
  • No positive green flags can be identified given the severe MOT history and structural issues.
