Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2008 Ford Focus with 137,074 miles demonstrates stable roadworthiness, as the most recent MOT on 2026-02-23 at 137,074 miles recorded a pass with no defects. Previous tests from 2025-03-06 (135,573 miles) and 2024-02-16 (133,118 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The single failed test on 2025-03-06 at the same mileage is unexplained by defect notes, but subsequent passes suggest any issues were resolved. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident from the record. The vehicle’s mileage of 137,074 miles over 18 years aligns with an average of 7,615 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. MOT tests are spaced approximately 12 months apart, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage accumulation. The 2023-02-28 test at 129,385 miles marked the earliest recorded data, followed by a steady progression to the present. The absence of defects in all but one test implies no urgent mechanical concerns, though the car’s age necessitates scrutiny of wear-prone components. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the car has seen frequent short trips. Structural integrity, including rust on the chassis or body panels, warrants attention, as older vehicles may develop hidden corrosion. The clean MOT history suggests responsible upkeep, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond recorded tests.
