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 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 17,970 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-05-30, which is highly irregular and a significant red flag.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 6,366 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but a significant 2022 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • MOT currently 'Not valid' with expiry 2026-05-30 — highly irregular for an 18-year-old vehicle.
  • Recurring major failures: suspension (3), engine/oil (2), emissions (2), and exhaust (3) across multiple tests.
  • Recurring advisories: steering (4), brakes (3), and tyres (3) show systemic neglect of wear items.
  • Dangerous defects: fractured coil spring (May 2023), major exhaust leak (May 2026), and corroded subframe (May 2026).

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 6,366 miles/year, indicating light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has been consistently tested and maintained, albeit with significant issues.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner has addressed immediate concerns.
