2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FN58 JLU

The 2008 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 September 2025 at 131,062 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failed test on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault condition. Prior annual tests from 2022 through 2024 also passed cleanly, showing no worsening pattern across the three years before the latest entry. Recorded mileage sits at 131,062 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,281 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The car gained only 2,413 miles between the 2022 test at 123,824 miles and the 2024 test at 128,649 miles, then added 2,413 miles to reach 131,062 by September 2025. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the DVSA data, and the clean advisory history across all five entries suggests light use with consistent yearly testing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 131,062 miles, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of wear below failure thresholds. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant close checking, particularly around sills and suspension mounts where 2008 Focus models commonly degrade. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but consumables such as tyres and wiper blades remain outside the scope of this historical summary.
