2008 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · CK58 AEN

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The March 2025 test at 124,980 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While the vehicle underwent two failed tests in 2024 and 2025, these appear to be administrative or minor technical failures rather than indications of a worsening mechanical trend, as the vehicle successfully cleared all issues within a 24-hour window in both instances. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age. Averaging approximately 6,943 miles per year over its 18-year lifespan, the current reading of 124,980 miles suggests regular, moderate usage rather than long periods of inactivity. The data shows a steady progression from 105,298 miles in March 2023 to 124,980 miles in March 2025, indicating a predictable driving pattern that avoids the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commercial use. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion, the records suggest the vehicle has been kept in a serviceable condition. However, the lack of recorded advisories for consumables like tyres or wiper blades in the digital record does not guarantee their current condition. A physical inspection should focus on checking for underbody corrosion and ensuring the brake discs and pads show even wear, as these are common points of failure on an older Ford Focus. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension components and the integrity of the exhaust system. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle means rubber bushings and mounting points are nearing the end of their natural lifecycle. Given the consistent mileage, the drivetrain should be checked for any signs of excessive vibration or leaks that may not trigger an MOT failure but indicate nearing component fatigue.
