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 68% pass rate and 102,667 miles. This makes it illegal to drive and poses significant unknown safety risks.
The vehicle shows extremely high mileage of 224,108 miles by Feb 2019, followed by a suspiciously low 1-mile increase to 238,290 miles by Apr 2020, raising serious odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- MOT status: Not valid (as of 2024-12-01) — illegal to drive.
- MOT expiry date: None recorded — no valid certificate.
- Odometer fraud: 14,181-mile decrease between Feb 2019 (224,108 mi) and Apr 2020 (238,290 mi).
- High annual usage: 19,375 miles/year — well above UK average of 8,000.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- No recurring failures: Single major fuel system failure in Feb 2019, no subsequent failures.
- Consistent mileage: Despite high annual usage, readings show no gaps or inconsistencies.
- Long service life: 2008 Ford Diesel with 19-year history, parts availability good.
