FORD FOCUS2008 · 1.6L Petrol

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent passing trend over the last four years. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 123,484 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While a failure was logged on the same day at 123,482 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for an 18 year old vehicle. It covered 5,281 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, and 3,985 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This steady usage pattern indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 2008 model, showing no advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across multiple years. While this suggests a well-maintained vehicle, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and sills. Ford Focus models of this era are prone to structural rust that may not always be flagged if the corrosion is superficial or located in areas the tester deemed acceptable. Check the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers during a test drive. Given the mileage of 123,484, these components are likely reaching the end of their natural service life even if they have not yet failed a formal inspection. Verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these critical maintenance items are not captured in MOT records but are essential for engine longevity.
