2008 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · CE08 ADO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 83,276 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a single failure in December 2024 at 77,787 miles which was rectified immediately to achieve a pass on the same day, suggesting the owner is proactive regarding MOT compliance requirements. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2008 Ford Focus, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage with regular intervals, such as the 7,600 miles driven between December 2023 and December 2024. While the low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the age of the vehicle increases the risk of material degradation in rubber-based parts. The lack of significant mileage gaps between tests suggests the vehicle has not been left stationary for extended periods recently. Despite the clean recent history, a buyer should focus a physical inspection on common age-related failure points for this specific model. Inspect the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly around the rear wheel arches and sills, where rust often accumulates over eighteen years regardless of mileage. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or perishing, as these components can become brittle over time. Check the brake system for seized calipers or surface pitting, as low-use vehicles are prone to surface corrosion on the discs and rotors.
