Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2008 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 24 June 2025 at 135,336 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and the prior failure on 19 June 2025 at 135,300 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven one. No advisories or mechanical issues appear across any entry from 2023 to 2025. Mileage stands at 135,336 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,519 miles per year which is typical for the age. The record shows 127,168 miles on 21 June 2023, rising to 131,368 by 22 June 2024 and 135,336 by June 2025, a steady annual gain near 4,000 miles. The data is sparse but clean, with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps to suggest abnormal use or deferred operation. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's age and 135k mileage, as the MOT record records no advisories that would expose wear in those areas. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be checked directly, since the tester logged no corrosion flags despite the car entering its third decade. The repeated no-defect failures on 22 June 2024 and 19 June 2025 warrant confirmation that they were paperwork or identification issues, not concealed mechanical rejects.
