2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · PN58 LZD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 September 2025 with 153,475 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test just days before a successful retest, suggesting that the owner addresses specific defects only when prompted by a legal inspection requirement rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 153,475 miles represents an average of approximately 8,526 miles per year. This aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 5,900 miles covered between August 2023 and September 2024, and another 878 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which often helps prevent the internal corrosion issues associated with long periods of standing. While the recent records show no outstanding defects, the age and mileage necessitate a thorough physical inspection of common Focus failure points. A buyer should examine the structural integrity of the rear wheel arches and sills for corrosion, as these are prone to rust on this generation. Given the mileage, a close look at the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs is required to identify excessive wear. The buyer should also check for binding calipers or thin brake discs, as the recurring failures in recent years indicate that mechanical components are only being serviced when they reach a point of failure.
