2008 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · FL58 HHC

The 2008 Ford Focus with 187,486 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent March 2026 MOT at 187,486 miles recording a pass and no defects. Prior tests from 2025, 2023, and 2022 also showed passes, though a November 2022 test at the same mileage recorded a failure with no defects listed. This inconsistency may indicate a data entry error or a minor issue resolved before the subsequent pass. Overall, the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant mechanical or structural concerns in the recorded history. The mileage of 187,486 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 10,416 miles, typical for its age. MOT records show consistent annual testing with minimal gaps, suggesting regular maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage increased from 174,657 miles in November 2022 to 187,486 miles in March 2026, reflecting steady use. No abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity are evident, which reduces concerns about excessive wear from idling or infrequent operation. The absence of recurring defects in the records implies a lack of systemic issues requiring urgent attention. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components are prone to degradation in older vehicles. While no specific faults were noted, the 2022 failure—though unexplained—warrants scrutiny of the braking mechanism and exhaust emissions. Corrosion and structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly in areas prone to rust. The vehicle’s clean MOT history suggests responsible ownership, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the absence of hidden issues not captured in the records.
