2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MJ58 ABK

The 2008 Ford Focus exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT on 2025-11-10 at 60,022 miles, which recorded a PASS with no defects. Subsequent tests from 2024-11-06 (55,828 miles) and 2023-11-07 (52,193 miles) also showed PASS outcomes, with no recorded issues. The single FAIL entry on 2023-11-07 at the same mileage is anomalous, as no defects were listed, suggesting a potential data inconsistency. Overall, the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant mechanical or structural concerns over the past three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 60,022 miles over 18 years equates to an average of 3,335 miles annually, reflecting low usage. This pattern aligns with consistent annual MOT intervals, with no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or extended periods of inactivity. The absence of defects in recent tests implies routine maintenance has addressed wear on consumables, though the low mileage may mask potential issues in components subject to infrequent use, such as suspension bushes or brake calipers. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly in areas prone to rust, and verify the condition of suspension components, which may degrade without regular stress. While the MOT history shows no active faults, the 2023 FAIL entry without defects warrants scrutiny to confirm the test’s accuracy. Additionally, checking brake discs, exhaust emissions, and tyre tread depth upon inspection is advisable to ensure no latent issues were overlooked in the recorded tests.
