2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MK08 AEP

The 2008 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy on the most recent evidence, with a clean pass recorded on 14 February 2026 at 112,686 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history. Prior tests in February 2025 and February 2024 also returned passes with no advisories, and the two failed entries from 17 February 2025 (101,254 miles) and 16 February 2024 (91,818 miles) carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,260 miles against the vehicle's 18-year life, a typical figure for this age of car. The records show smooth accumulation: 91,818 miles in February 2024, 101,326 miles by February 2025, and 112,686 miles by February 2026. No standing gaps or abrupt jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on detail, with every pass and both anomaly failures listing no defects or advisories, so the file gives little insight into wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise track gradual wear. The unexplained failures on 17 February 2025 and 16 February 2024 warrant confirmation that the vehicle was not rejected for undocumented corrosion or emissions at the point of test. With no historical flags on tyres, exhaust, or structural integrity, the record implies previous keepers kept basic upkeep current, but 18 years invites hidden rust on sills and subframes that MOT entries did not capture.
