2008 FORD FOCUS1.8L Petrol

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 February 2026 at 114,162 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The absence of any advisories or failures across the last three years indicates a car that is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical issues. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered roughly 11,129 miles between the February 2024 test at 103,033 miles and the February 2026 test at 114,162 miles. This average of approximately 5,564 miles per year suggests regular, moderate use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The MOT record is unusually clean for an 18 year old vehicle, showing no flagged defects for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions since February 2024. While the lack of recorded faults is positive, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion. Older Ford Focus models are prone to structural rust that may not always trigger an MOT failure until it becomes severe. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these consumables are not detailed in a clean pass. Checking the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these critical engine components are replaced based on age and mileage rather than MOT criteria.
