2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · SC57 ATV

The vehicle's current roadworthiness stands at non-roadworthy , with a clear deterioration trend identified in the MOT history. The most recent test on 2026-06-18 was a failure at 82,218 miles, confirming that the vehicle has not maintained its safety rating for a significant duration. This failure is linked to recurring structural and mechanical issues, specifically severe corrosion of the coil springs, sub-frames, and suspension components, which have persisted across multiple years of testing. Regarding mileage, the vehicle exhibits a rapid accumulation of miles relative to its age of approximately 18 years. The 2025-08-16 test at 82,218 miles, followed by a 2024-08-23 test at 80,045 miles, suggests that the vehicle has not undergone a complete maintenance cycle since 2025. This pattern indicates that the owner has likely maintained the car at a very high mileage, potentially due to heavy usage or a lack of proactive servicing, which accelerates wear on critical components like brakes and suspension. Given the recurring faults, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and corrosion. The history reveals a severe degradation of the coil springs and sub-frames, which may lead to a loss of suspension integrity if not repaired. Additionally, the front brake pads are wearing thin and the headlamps are failing, indicating that the braking system is compromised. The owner must also check for corrosion on the seat belt anchorage and sills, as well as the ball joints and suspension arms, which are prone to failure under the high mileage and frequent testing conditions.
