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 84% pass rate and 11,029 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and the number of advisories warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,739 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2019 and 2021 (1,405 miles in 12 months), and a subsequent spike in 2022 (9,571 miles).
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories across 4 tests (Mar 2020, Jan 2021, Jan 2022, Jan 2026) indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring suspension advisories across 3 tests (Mar 2020, Jan 2021, Jan 2022) suggest persistent issues.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 2 tests (Jan 2021, Jan 2023) point to a history of neglected maintenance.
- The single MOT failure in Jan 2025, with no defect details provided, is a significant concern for a 2008 vehicle.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects have been recorded on the MOT history.
- The car has consistently passed its MOT tests since 2019, showing it has been maintained to a basic standard.
- The very low mileage (4,739 miles/yr) suggests minimal wear and tear on engine components.
