2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MV08 TLZ

The Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 26 February 2025 at 147,731 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three annual cycles. The February 2025 pass shows no defects recorded, and the prior February 2024 and February 2023 tests also returned clean passes. The record indicates no escalating mechanical faults, corrosion issues, or recurring advisory patterns that would suggest worsening condition. The odometer stood at 119,448 miles for the February 2023 test, rose to 132,134 miles by February 2024, and reached 147,731 miles at the final February 2025 examination. That equates to roughly 12,700 miles per year between 2023 and 2025, above the lifetime average of 8,207 miles per year for this 2008 vehicle, though still moderate for the period. No standing gaps or abrupt accumulation appear; the mileage progression is linear and consistent with regular use. Both the 2024 and 2025 failures on 24 February 2024 at 132,134 miles and 26 February 2025 at 147,716 miles list no defects recorded, implying administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical rejection. The clean advisory history across all three years means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural integrity carry no flagged concerns from the tester. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the exhaust emissions, brake calipers, and underbody for corrosion given the vehicle's eighteen-year age and 147,731 miles. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude wear on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades that fall below test thresholds between annual examinations.
