AI verdict AVOID 42/100

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 73% pass rate and 6,388 miles. The vehicle's age and pattern of neglect make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 50,105 miles over 18 years, averaging only 2,788 miles per year, which is highly suspicious and suggests potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on Dec 2018 MOT, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring major failures in lights, windscreen, and emissions across multiple tests.
  • Extremely low mileage of 50,105 miles over 18 years, a strong indicator of odometer fraud.
  • Consistent pattern of recurring advisories on critical wear items like tyres and suspension.

Working in its favour

  • Current MOT is valid until 2026-12-30, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner has been maintaining it to pass tests.
