2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CA57 UWB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, demonstrating a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 194,188 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating that the vehicle is currently meeting all legal safety and environmental standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per annum. The data shows a steady accumulation of use, such as 4,163 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 8,108 miles recorded between January 2025 and February 2026. This regular usage suggests the car has not sat idle, which is often beneficial for engine seals and brake components, though the high total mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of this 2008 Focus necessitates a thorough physical inspection of wear-related components and structural integrity. A buyer should specifically examine the chassis for corrosion around the sills and rear wheel arches, common failure points on this generation that may not always trigger an MOT failure until they become structural. Given the mileage, the state of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers should be checked for signs of excessive play or leaking, as these parts typically reach the end of their functional life at this interval.
