2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · AF08 WFR

The 2008 Ford Focus presents a broadly roadworthy status as of its most recent test on 25 April 2024 at 153,993 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the only blemish being a failure on 5 March 2024 at 153,983 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a deterioration in condition. Prior tests in March 2022 and March 2023 also passed cleanly, showing no escalating fault pattern across the recorded history. The odometer sat at 129,505 miles for the March 2022 test and rose to 140,040 miles by March 2023, then to 153,983 miles by March 2024. That equates to roughly 10,500 miles per year over the last two years, slightly above the lifetime average of 8,555 miles per year but consistent with typical family use. The record shows no long dormant periods or sudden mileage spikes, and the sparse clean sheets across four years imply the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current without flagged wear items. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's eighteen-year age and 153,993 miles. The MOT data recorded no advisories on corrosion or exhaust emissions, yet structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants visual checks for hidden rust. The March 2024 failure with zero defects points to a possible documentation error or omitted minor item, so verify the V5C and test certificate before purchase.
