2007 FORD FOCUS ZETEC CLIMATE TDCI1.8L DIESEL

The most recent MOT was on 2025-10-01 — just over 8 months ago — and it passed with no defects at 102,827 miles. That’s current enough to offer reasonable confidence in basic roadworthiness, but not so recent that critical items like brakes or tyres can be assumed still fit. The MOT history is consistently clean: five consecutive passes from 2021 to 2025, with no advisories or failures recorded at any point. There is no evidence of recurring faults, deteriorating components, or escalating repair needs. The pattern is stable — not worsening, not improving, just reliably defect-free across nearly five years and over 11,800 miles of recorded use. At 19 years old and 102,827 miles, the car averages about 5,412 miles per year — well below typical UK usage. This low annual mileage could indicate lighter use, but it also raises questions about potential under-use: long idle periods risk dried seals, stiffened rubber bushings, degraded brake fluid, and moisture buildup in the diesel system. It does not suggest hard use or excessive wear — but neither does it guarantee freshness. The history is limited to MOT outcomes only — no service records, no repair invoices, no owner comments. So while the mechanical record looks solid on paper, there’s no visibility into maintenance discipline, fluid changes, timing belt history (critical on this engine), or whether known Focus TDCI issues — like EGR valve coking or injector wear — have been proactively managed.
