2008 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · SM08 KME

The 2008 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 July 2025 at 62,986 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT results since at least 2021. Recorded mileage sits at 62,986 miles against an 18 year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,499 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle accumulation: 57,664 miles on 12 March 2021, 58,339 on 29 April 2022, 59,012 on 20 April 2023, 61,450 on 10 June 2024, and 62,986 on 4 July 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The sparse, clean history suggests light use and a low wear profile, though long standing periods common at this mileage can hide perished rubber and trapped corrosion. No advisories or failures appear across the five tests, so the record gives no direct warning on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts for rust that a test bay may miss on a low mileage car. Check tyre sidewalls and brake calipers for age related degradation from disuse. The absence of recorded faults implies prior owners kept basic upkeep current, but MOT pass sheets are not service receipts. Verify cambelt interval, fluid changes, and underbody condition before purchase.
