2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CA07 ABO

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with four consecutive MOT tests since 2022 resulting in passes without a single defect or advisory. This stability is evidenced by the most recent clean pass on 14 August 2025, indicating that no immediate safety or emissions failures have been identified by the testing stations over this four-year period. The recorded mileage of 68,061 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 3,582 miles per year over nineteen years. Such a low annual accumulation rate suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used for very short journeys. Mechanically, this usage profile shifts the focus from wear-and-tear on the drivetrain and engine internals toward the potential degradation of rubber components and seals that can occur when a vehicle is not regularly exercised. Because the MOT history contains no advisories, there are no specific component failures to monitor from the official records. However, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion, as MOT tests provide a snapshot of safety rather than a comprehensive condition report. During a test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, and check for any steering pull or vibration, as these are common wear points for a vehicle of this vintage. Attention should be paid to the operation of the brakes and the smoothness of the gear transitions. While the recent tests show no binding calipers or brake disc issues, any pedal judder or uneven braking would indicate wear not captured in the latest pass. Given the low annual mileage, checking for oil misting around the engine seals is advisable. These checks will complement the clean MOT record to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy.
