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 23 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 28,293 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and repeated issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,337 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • Recurring major brake failures (Jan 2023, Jan 2026) and advisories (Jan 2021) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Suspension arm corrosion advisories (Jan 2026) and subframe corrosion (Jan 2026) are serious age-related concerns.
  • Emissions major failure (Jan 2023) and tyre cut major failure (Jan 2026) highlight multiple past safety issues.
  • The vehicle has been driven very low for its age (7,337 mi/yr), suggesting limited use and potential neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until February 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,337 mi/yr) suggests light use and potentially lower wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, which is a positive for integrity.
