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 65% pass rate and 18,226 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows a critical decrease from 64,180 miles in Sep 2017 to 49,331 miles in Sep 2018, indicating a possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Sep 2017 (64,180 mi) and Sep 2018 (49,331 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Mileage decreased from 64,180 miles (Sep 2017) to 49,331 miles (Sep 2018), a strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Recurring DANGEROUS tyre defects (Sep 2018, Sep 2019) and persistent brake/suspension advisories across multiple tests.
  • Five test failures, including a DANGEROUS tyre defect in Sep

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until November 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or Cat N/S write-off markers is present in the provided data.
  • The 2.0 EcoBoost engine variant is known for its durability and reliability, which is a positive for this model.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history since its first MOT in 2011.
