2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · BV08 XZX

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its latest inspection on 25 November 2025 at 166,837 miles. This most recent result indicates that the car met all minimum safety standards without recorded defects. While a failure occurred in early December 2024, the subsequent pass just four days later suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly or that the owner is proactive in addressing immediate faults once identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,269 miles per year. Between December 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 19,686 miles, showing a steady usage rate of roughly 6,500 miles annually during that specific period. The jump of 9,279 miles between the December 2024 and November 2025 tests shows regular operation, which generally reduces the risk of brake-related issues or seal degradation compared to vehicles that undergo long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and structural integrity, as these are common points of failure for a Focus of this age. Although the recent records show no active advisories, the high mileage suggests wear on control arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Check the subframe for corrosion and the rear sills for rust, as the MOT history does not rule out developing structural weakness on a vehicle over 160 thousand miles.
