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 23 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 27,967 miles. While recent tests have passed, the underlying issues and potential for future costs warrant a cautious approach.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,224 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating light usage.
Things to check
- Recurring headlamp advisories across 4 separate MOT tests (2018, 2020, 2021, 2022) suggest a persistent electrical or mechanical issue.
- Four MOT failures with no defect details (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022) are a significant concern, as they prevent proper assessment of repair quality.
- The 2013-12-11 failure for excessive offside rear wheel bearing play, though rectified, indicates past suspension wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 11/2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,224 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for good engine health.
- No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
- Recent MOT passes (2023, 2024, 2025) indicate current roadworthiness despite past issues.
