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 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 26,087 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2027, the pattern of neglect and structural issues makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 4,145 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2022 (e.g., +2,045 miles in 2022).

Things to check

  • Recurring major suspension failures (e.g., fractured coil spring, excessively worn bushes) across multiple tests.
  • Major bodywork failures (e.g., outer sill integrity) in Jan 2026, indicating significant structural corrosion.
  • Consistent advisories for suspension arm wear and sill integrity from 2019 onwards, showing a clear pattern of neglect.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,145 miles/yr) for an 18-year-old vehicle, suggesting long periods of inactivity.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures, showing responsive owner action.
  • No recurring failures in critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
