2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · WX58 ABV

The most recent MOT on 29 October 2022 at 135,582 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle was judged roadworthy at that time; the earlier FAILED entry on the same date and mileage, also noting no defects, appears to be an administrative anomaly, and the subsequent pass indicates a stable maintenance trend. The mileage rose from 128,748 miles in the 13 November 2021 test to 135,582 miles by the October 2022 test, an increase of 6,834 miles over roughly eleven months, which equates to about 7,500 miles per year – a rate consistent with the 18‑year age of the car and typical usage patterns, with no large unexplained gaps in the record. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and look for structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches, as these components commonly degrade on high‑mileage examples of this model. Additional checks should include the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion, verification that the timing belt (if equipped) has been replaced according to the manufacturer’s schedule, and an assessment of tyre wear patterns that may reveal alignment or suspension issues.
