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, with a recorded mileage of 123,135 miles, passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-06-09. The vehicle's maintenance trend appears stable, with no defects recorded in the past three MOT tests. This indicates that the vehicle's essential systems, including brakes, suspension, and exhaust emissions, have been functioning within acceptable limits. The mileage pattern for this vehicle is roughly typical for its age, with an average annual mileage of approximately 6,841 miles. There are no notable gaps in the MOT records, suggesting that the vehicle has been regularly maintained and used. However, the rapid accumulation of mileage between the 2022 and 2023 tests, from 97,705 to 107,958 miles, is worth noting. This increase of 10,253 miles in a single year may indicate more frequent or intense use during that period. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and steering components in person. Although the MOT records do not indicate any major faults, the tester flagged advisories on the rear suspension bushes in earlier tests. The buyer should also check the brake discs and pads for signs of wear, as the vehicle has been used for an extended period. Furthermore, the buyer should inspect the vehicle's bodywork for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, which are prone to rust.
