2008 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · FG58 UAS

The 2008 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 6 August 2025 at 105,351 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 9 September 2024 at 98,011 miles and again on 10 October 2023 at 89,586 miles. The clean sheet across successive annual tests indicates no worsening mechanical or structural faults in the recorded period. The odometer shows 105,351 miles against an 18 year lifespan, a low average of roughly 5,853 miles per year. The record traces a steady climb: 79,862 miles in October 2022, 89,586 in October 2023, 98,011 in September 2024, and 105,351 by August 2025. No abrupt accumulation or dormant gaps appear. The sparse, defect-free history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs, though long idle periods cannot be ruled out from mileage alone. A single anomaly sits in the 9 September 2024 entry, where the system logs both a fail and a pass at identical mileage of 98,011 with no defects cited. This suggests an administrative retest or data duplication rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. Buyers should still verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed fault record exists behind that dual entry. Given the absence of flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the Focus shows no recorded trend of deteriorating structure or running gear. A purchaser should nonetheless commission a physical inspection for underbody rust, binding calipers, and perished rubber mounts, as eighteen years of age invites latent wear the MOT sheet did not capture.
