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 25 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 53,834 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing extremely low usage for several years, which is a major red flag.
The mileage shows a significant drop to 30 miles/year equivalent before Dec 2019, which is highly suspicious and indicates potential odometer fraud or periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS suspension failures on 2012-01-03 and 2012-01-04 tests.
- Recurring major brake failures and advisories across multiple tests.
- Major bodywork failures and advisories in 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2024.
- Major engine/oil failure on 2019-09-10, a critical system.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until May 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner is maintaining it.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2019, averaging 11,305 miles/year.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
