2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · WX58 ACZ

The most recent MOT on 7 December 2022 recorded a pass at 191,695 miles, indicating the vehicle met the statutory roadworthiness criteria at that time; the simultaneous failed entry for the same date carries no recorded defects, suggesting a clerical anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. With no defects noted across the three recorded tests, the maintenance trend appears stable, showing no emerging faults over the documented period. Mileage has risen from 179,929 miles on 5 November 2021 to 191,695 miles by December 2022, a gain of 11,766 miles in roughly thirteen months. Over an 18‑year lifespan this averages about 10,650 miles per year, aligning with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The record contains no large gaps or sudden spikes, implying consistent annual mileage rather than periods of intensive use or prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to wear‑related components that are not captured by the MOT entries. Inspect the suspension for deteriorated bushes or cracked coil springs, as high mileage can accelerate fatigue. Examine brake discs and pads for thinning or scoring, and verify that calipers move freely without binding. Tyre tread depth, sidewall condition, and uniform wear merit close scrutiny, as consumables are likely near the end of their service life. Check for surface rust on wheel arches, chassis rails, and under‑body panels, especially where water ingress could compromise structural integrity. Finally, confirm the discrepancy between the pass and fail entries for the 2022 test with the seller and request any supplemental service records. Ensuring that the vehicle’s recent MOT status is genuine and that no hidden defects were omitted will provide a clearer picture of its current condition before purchase.
