2008 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · BD08 ADV

The 2008 Ford Focus demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with all recorded MOT tests from 2018 to 2022 resulting in passes and no defects noted. The most recent test on 2022-02-18 at 118,822 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. However, the absence of subsequent MOT records since 2022 raises concerns about the vehicle’s current compliance, as the interval between tests exceeds the standard annual requirement. Mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s 18-year age, averaging approximately 6,601 miles annually. The MOT records show steady mileage increases, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity periods. From 98,056 miles in 2018 to 118,822 miles in 2022, the growth reflects typical usage patterns. The absence of recurring issues in the history suggests the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential wear on components like suspension or braking systems. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which are common in older vehicles, and check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Corrosion in body panels and exhaust emissions compliance should also be verified, as these areas often degrade over time. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the age and mileage necessitate a thorough mechanical check to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
