2008 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · YD08 GKP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on 19 June 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a singular failure recorded on 17 June 2025 just two days prior to the successful test. Because no defects were listed for that failure, the specific cause of the rejection remains unknown from the data, though the preceding tests from 2022 through 2024 passed without any recorded faults or advisories. The recorded mileage of 25,838 miles over an 18-year span represents an average annual usage of approximately 1,435 miles per year. This low-frequency usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or was used only for minimal trips. There is a notable gap between the February 2022 test and the June 2023 test, indicating a break in the annual testing cycle, but the mileage accumulation remains consistent with low usage patterns over the last three years. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage and age. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidews perish or crack over time regardless of distance driven. The tester should also check for seized brake calipers or corrosion on brake discs, which are common in vehicles that not not regularly. Given the age of the Ford, a thorough check of structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches is necessary to ensure hidden corrosion has not developed during periods of low use.
