2007 Ford Focus LX 1.6L Other · LEZ 1696

The most recent MOT, conducted on 27 January 2022 at 172,155 miles, resulted in a failure, rendering the vehicle non‑road‑worthy at that date. With only a single recorded test, there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate a stable or improving maintenance pattern; the failure suggests a potential decline in condition since that inspection. At 172,155 miles the 2007 Ford Focus LX has accrued roughly 9,000 miles per year over its 19‑year lifespan, a mileage rate that sits within normal expectations for a vehicle of this age. No earlier MOT entries are provided, so the record offers no insight into periods of rapid use or prolonged inactivity; the solitary data point limits any deeper analysis of mileage spikes or gaps. Given the failure and the absence of recorded defects, a prospective buyer should give particular attention to the braking system, ensuring that pads, discs, and calipers are free of binding and wear within legal limits. Inspection of suspension components such as coil springs, shock absorbers, and bushings is advisable, as high mileage can precipitate fatigue or corrosion. A thorough check of tyre tread depth, sidewall condition, and overall tyre wear will confirm whether consumables have been maintained. Finally, a visual assessment of the chassis for rust, especially around wheel arches and underbody, and a verification of exhaust emissions compliance will help determine if any hidden faults contributed to the MOT failure.
