2008 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · DV08 AAZ

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 4 August 2025 at 88,956 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been sparingly used. The mileage is notably low for a 2008 model, averaging roughly 4,942 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with 3,210 miles added between August 2023 and August 2024, and 3,210 miles added again by August 2025. This consistency indicates regular, light usage rather than long periods of stagnation, which typically reduces the risk of perished seals or seized calipers. The record shows a failure on 10 August 2022 at 79,916 miles, though the tester recorded no specific defects, implying a rapid rectification of a minor issue before the pass was issued on the same day. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion. The absence of any advisories over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests the previous owner addressed wear and tear before the official inspections. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for rubber perishing in the suspension mounts and inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of the chassis. Verify the age of the tyres and the condition of the brake fluid, as low-mileage vehicles often require fluid changes based on time rather than distance to prevent internal system corrosion.
