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 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 8,537 miles. The recurring nature of these issues, combined with a 14-year gap in MOT records, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (6,417 miles/yr) for its age, with a significant 14-year gap in MOT records (2011-2025) and a 14-year-old vehicle with only 8,537 miles recorded.

Things to check

  • Deeply troubled MOT history with 6 failures and 14 advisories.
  • Recurring brake system and suspension failures across multiple tests.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (6,417 mi/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle.
  • A 14-year gap in MOT records (2011-2025) is highly unusual and suspicious.

Working in its favour

  • Current valid MOT until 2026-09-16, indicating recent roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT data.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed retests after initial failures, showing issues were addressed.
