2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AG57 CXM

The 2008 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 13 October 2025 at 99,117 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes from 27 September 2024 back to 27 October 2022 and a clean result in the most recent test. A failed test on 7 October 2025 at 99,090 miles shows no recorded defects, indicating the failure likely stemmed from an administrative or unlogged non-mechanical matter rather than a fault the tester wrote up. Recorded mileage sits at 99,117 against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,506 miles per year and marking this car as low use for its age. The odometer moved from 85,047 in October 2022 to 90,356 in October 2023, then 95,664 in September 2024, and 99,117 by October 2025. Annual accumulation holds near 4,500 to 4,800 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps across the five-year span. Low overall mileage paired with clean advisories implies the previous keeper used the car lightly and kept basic test standards met, though the sparse record leaves consumable and structural condition between tests unverified. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory data to confirm those items. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should be checked for hidden wear the MOT did not flag. The October 2025 fail with zero defects warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason to rule out a documentation error versus an omitted fault.
