AI verdict AVOID 39/100

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 22 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 36,961 miles. The recurring nature of critical safety and wear items, combined with a 2022 service gap, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage at 9,328 miles/year, but a significant 2022 service gap is concerning for a 2008 vehicle.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure (Dec 2020) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring brake failures (Dec 2020, Jan 2023) — systemic neglect.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (2013, 2025) — consistent wear.
  • Recurring lights advisories (2013, 2025) — persistent electrical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage — no odometer fraud detected.
  • Valid MOT until December 2026 — current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring major structural failures — no hidden chassis issues.
  • Immediate retests for failures — owner responded to issues.
