2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FP08 WCG

The 2008 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its three most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 11 September 2023 at 51,233 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle held sound mechanical condition at that point roughly 21 months before the current date. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally low annual use for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. Records indicate 48,063 miles at the 22 September 2021 test, rising to 49,855 miles by 22 September 2022, then 51,233 miles by 11 September 2023. This equates to roughly 1,800 miles per year across the recorded period, well below typical averages. The sparse three-entry history with consecutive passes and no flagged wear suggests either careful short-distance ownership or extended periods of storage rather than neglected high-mileage abuse. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion and suspension bushes given the vehicle's age and likely intermittent standing, as MOT passes do not certify absence of developing rust on sills or subframes. The brake discs, calipers, and handbrake mechanism warrant physical measurement since low mileage can allow seizing through disuse. Exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition should be verified, with particular attention to perishing from age rather than tread wear.
