2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AK08 MMS

The 2008 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 July 2025 at 87,686 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. Recorded mileage stands at 87,686 against an eighteen-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,871 miles per year. The tester logged 81,374 miles in July 2021, rising to 82,436 in July 2022, 83,906 in July 2023, 85,312 in July 2024, and 87,686 in July 2025. Annual increments sit between 1,100 and 2,374 miles, showing no gaps or sudden accumulation. The sparse, fault-free history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as the MOT record cannot capture incipient structural rust on a vehicle of this age. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions warrant hands-on checks despite no advisories being raised. Low mileage combined with standing periods often accelerates perishable component degradation. Verify tyre sidewall condition, wiper blade flexibility, and fluid contamination before purchase, since the clean test sheets reflect only the examination day, not ongoing wear.
