2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CK58 AEO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on March 6 2026 at 101,473 miles where no defects were recorded. This follows a consistent period of clean passes, despite a single failure recorded earlier in February 2024. The lack of advisory notices in the last three consecutive tests suggests that the current owner is proactive regarding mechanical maintenance or that the vehicle is currently meeting all operational standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. There is a significant increase in usage between February 2025 and March 2026, where the car covered 13,032 miles in just over fourteen months. Prior to this, the usage was much more conservative, with only 7,228 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This recent spike in mileage can accelerate the wear on rubber-based components like suspension bushes and tyres despite the low overall lifetime figure. While the digital record is clean, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the braking system. Low-mileage older vehicles often suffer from corrosion on brake lines or seized calipers due to periods of inactivity rather than mechanical use. The buyer should specifically check for rust on the rear subframe and sills, as these are common failure points for this generation of Focus that may not always trigger as an advisory until they reach a critical stage.
