2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LD58 OYL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 188,439 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests a high standard of maintenance where the previous owner has proactively addressed mechanical and safety issues before they reached a failing threshold, maintaining a reliable trend of operation. The mileage accumulation pattern is remarkably consistent for an eighteen-year-old Ford Focus, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Between September 2021 at 117,242 miles and October 2025 at 188,439 miles, the car covered 71,197 miles at a steady rate. This regular usage indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often leads to seal degradation or internal corrosion. The intervals between tests remain regular, showing no gaps in the annual schedule that would suggest a lapse in testing compliance. Despite the clean MOT record, the high cumulative mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components prone to age andrelated and wear. A buyer should specifically examine the structural integrity of the subframes and sills for corrosion, as this is a common failure point for this generation of Focus. Additionally, the rubber suspension arm bushes and damper mounts should be checked for cracking or tearing, as these often degrade significantly after 150,000 miles. Testing for brake caliper binding and checking the thickness of the discs is also advised to ensure the braking system remains robust as the digital record suggests.
