FORD FOCUS2007 · 2.5L Petrol

The vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 9 July 2025 at 80,959 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This trend of clean passes extends back to at least 2021, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical state. The absence of advisories over five consecutive years suggests that the previous owner prioritised preventative maintenance and addressed potential issues before they reached the point of failure during official inspections. The recorded mileage of 80,959 over a nineteen-year lifespan averages approximately 4,261 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a Ford Focus of this vintage. The data shows a consistent, low-intensity usage pattern, with only 1,794 miles added between the March 2021 test and the July 2025 test. While this low mileage often points to a vehicle that has been spared the heavy wear associated with daily commuting, it also necessitates a careful check for issues related to long-term storage, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as the Ford Focus platform is prone to corrosion in the sills and rear suspension mounting points. Even though the MOT record is clear, surface rust can develop rapidly on vehicles that spend significant time stationary. You should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often deteriorate due to age rather than high mileage. Finally, examine the brake discs for signs of pitting or corrosion caused by infrequent use, as these will not always trigger a failure if the braking performance remains within the required efficiency parameters during the test.
