2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AG58 TSX

The 2008 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 30 March 2026 at 171,073 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle has cleared every examination since the 2021 check without any advisories or mechanical faults flagged, indicating the previous keeper maintained the car to a basic pass standard across the later years of its life. Recorded mileage sits at 171,073 against an 18 year lifespan, equating to roughly 9,500 miles per year which is typical for the age. The history shows 162,974 miles at the 5 April 2024 test, rising to 166,009 by 1 April 2025 and 171,073 by March 2026, a steady annual accumulation of around 4,000 to 5,000 miles. A notable gap exists between 19 October 2021 (156,239 miles) and April 2024, where no test data appears, suggesting the car may have seen light use or was off the road during that interval. The 1 April 2025 entry shows a fail immediately followed by a pass at identical mileage of 166,009 with no defects listed on either, pointing to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical defect. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns appear anywhere in the record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 171,000 miles, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not capture early-stage rust or worn consumables. Verify the front suspension arms, rear beam axle for rust, and brake caliper operation in person, since high mileage Focus models of this era commonly develop such faults between tests without formal recording.
