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 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 13,229 miles. The recent failure of a wheel bearing and exhaust system, combined with persistent brake advisories, indicates significant upcoming maintenance.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,142 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,694 miles from May 2020 to May 2021).

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories across 4 tests (Apr 2019, May 2020, May 2022, May 2023) indicate a chronic issue.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (May 2020, May 2022, May 2023, Jun 2024) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
  • Recurring headlamp advisories across 4 tests (May 2020, May 2022, May 2023, Jun 2024) point to a persistent electrical fault.
  • Major failure for Nearside Rear Wheel bearing excessive play (Jun 2025) and exhaust system (Jun 2025) after years of advisories.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No recorded mileage discrepancies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, showing responsive ownership.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects have been recorded on the MOT.
