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 25 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 35,957 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the consistent need for repairs suggests potential underlying issues.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,362 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring coil spring failures (Dec 2020 advisory, Nov 2021 major) and 12 related advisories indicate chronic suspension wear.
  • Recurring tyre failures (Nov 2021 advisory, Nov 2023 major) and 4 related advisories point to a history of poor maintenance.
  • Recurring headlamp aim failures (Nov 2021 advisory, Nov 2023 major) and 2 related advisories suggest electrical gremlins.
  • Recurring anti-roll bar link dust cover failures (Nov 2021 advisory, Nov 2023 major) and 3 related advisories highlight suspension component neglect.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-12-13, indicating it recently passed a safety inspection.
  • Mileage is consistently low for its age, averaging 6,362 miles per year, suggesting light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation is present in the MOT history.
  • The 2018-12-14 retest after a 6-mile adjustment is a positive sign of quick rectification.
