This 2008 Ford has 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 63,761 miles. The recurring suspension advisories and a past MOT failure also warrant careful inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,650 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage over its 18-year lifespan.
Things to check
- 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars indicates a below-average safety rating for its era.
- Recurring suspension advisories (Oct 2024) and a past MOT failure (Oct 2021) suggest ongoing wear and maintenance needs.
- History of severe engine issues (head gasket, overheating, timing chain) from community reports is a major long-term risk.
- The 2014-10-11 MOT advisory for worn front tyres close to legal limit indicates imminent replacement costs.
Working in its favour
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,650 miles/year, showing no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until October 2026, indicating current roadworthiness and recent safety checks.
- No dangerous defects or major recurring failures are present in the MOT history, suggesting general safety.
- The 2018-10-08 and 2019-10-04 MOT passes were clean, demonstrating periods of good maintenance.
