2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · DA08 AFV

The 2008 Ford Focus has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness, with all four MOT tests from 2022 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent test on 2025-06-07 at 111,203 miles confirmed compliance with legal standards, indicating no critical failures in brakes, steering, or suspension. The absence of advisories or failures across this period suggests a stable maintenance trend, with no emerging issues requiring urgent attention. Mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 6,000–7,000 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s 18-year age. The 2022–2025 tests recorded mileages of 97,403 to 111,203, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. This pattern implies regular use rather than prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of component degradation from standing. The MOT history lacks anomalies, reflecting a vehicle maintained to meet minimum legal requirements but not necessarily exceeding them. A buyer should physically inspect suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, for wear given the age and mileage. Brake discs and pads may show uneven wear from consistent use, while the exhaust system should be checked for corrosion. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the records, so underbody rust or panel damage warrants scrutiny. Despite the clean MOT history, the vehicle’s age and high mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to identify hidden issues beyond the scope of MOT tests.
