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 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 16,937 miles. The vehicle's 18-year age and numerous past owner-reported faults for the 5.4L engine variant present significant long-term risks.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal annual usage of 6,645 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike to 18,798 miles in the last year.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (7 major) and advisories (3) across multiple tests indicate chronic wear.
  • Persistent tyre advisories (4) since 2012 and recent brake advisories (3) signal ongoing maintenance needs.
  • The 5.4L engine variant has a history of overheating and head gasket issues, as reported by owners.
  • The vehicle's 18-year age means significant accumulated wear and potential for future costly repairs.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 11/19/2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age (6,645 mi/yr) suggests careful, light use.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded on the latest MOT tests.
  • The 1.2L engine is generally known for its durability and reliability.
