AI verdict CAUTION 65/100

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 13,538 miles. While the most recent MOT passed, the recurring brake advisories and low annual usage warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,788 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,881 miles between Jul 2022 and Jul 2023).

Things to check

  • Persistent brake system failures across multiple tests (Jul 2018, Jul 2022, Jul 2023, Jul 2024).
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jul 2018, Jul 2022) suggest ongoing wear and maintenance needs.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (3,788 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle, indicating minimal use.
  • Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (Jul 2018) and Nearside Rear Service brake excessively binding (Jul 2018) indicate systemic brake issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-25, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current issues are being addressed.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory over its 18-year lifespan.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage patterns.
