2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · NH08 DXP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent inspection on January 31 2026 at 165,172 miles. This follows a brief failure in October 2024, which was rectified immediately to allow a passing result on the same day. The lack of advisory notices across the last three successful tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical issues before they escalate into significant failures or safety hazards. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's eighteen-year age, averaging approximately 9,176 miles per annum. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the car covered 8,210 miles, followed by a shorter interval of 2,850 miles between late 2023 and late 2024. This steady usage pattern indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the engine seals and components within the braking system to prevent the corrosion and seizing often associated with long periods of standing. While the MOT record is clean of recurring defects, a physical inspection must focus on the common wear points for a Focus of this era. A buyer should examine the structural integrity of the rear subframe and sills for advanced corrosion, as these areas often degrade on older models. Given the high mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking or fatigue, and the brake discs should be inspected for excessive thinning or uneven wear to ensure the clean MOT history reflects the actual mechanical state of the components.
