2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LR58 ORY

This Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 21 July 2025 at 84,114 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,673 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between July 2023 and July 2024, where the odometer rose from 63,684 to 75,415 miles. This jump of nearly 12,000 miles in one year contrasts with the more modest 8,696 mile increase seen between July 2024 and July 2025. The absence of advisories over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. While the record is clean, the low overall mileage and lack of flagged wear suggest the car may have spent periods standing. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and tyres for age-related perishing rather than tread wear. The 2024 record shows a fail and pass on the same day at 75,415 miles. Since no specific defects were listed for that failure, it likely related to a minor administrative error or a quick-fix item. Given the age of the chassis, a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion remains necessary, as the MOT record alone does not provide a detailed history of preventative rust treatment.
