2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FP08 JFO

The 2008 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 15 July 2025 at 107,107 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since July 2022. The maintenance trend is steady rather than worsening, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 107,107 against an eighteen-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,950 miles per year. The car covered 5,628 miles between the July 2022 test at 90,047 and the July 2023 pass at 96,288, then 5,627 miles to July 2024 at 101,915, and a further 5,192 to July 2025. This consistent low annual use suggests light commuting rather than neglect, though prolonged standing periods common at this mileage can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A duplicated 18 July 2023 entry shows a fail at 96,286 miles immediately followed by a pass at 96,288 miles with no defects listed on either, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a genuine mechanical fault. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and subframe integrity given the vehicle's age. No recurring wear items such as tyres, wiper blades or exhaust emissions appear in the record. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, but a pre-purchase check beneath the sills and wheel arches remains prudent for a seventeen-year-old Ford.
