2007 FORD FOCUS2.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The last recorded MOT test conducted on 11 August 2023 at 82,391 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum safety standards at that time. While the history shows failures in 2021 and 2022, the subsequent passes suggest that the previous owner addressed the identified faults immediately upon testing. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,336 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2022, the car covered only 2,503 miles, which suggests very light usage or extended periods of inactivity. This low annual mileage often results in less wear on drivetrain and engine components, but it can also lead to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluids due to lack of movement. The last recorded test occurred nearly three years ago, meaning the vehicle is currently overdue for its MOT and requires an immediate inspection to verify its current condition. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, given the age of the Focus and the low-mileage history. Low-use vehicles frequently suffer from accelerated corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points which may not have been visible during the previous test. Check for seized brake calipers or perished rubber bushes, which are common issues when cars sit stationary for long durations. Because the record ends in 2023, the state of the tyres and brake rubber hoses is critical to ensure they have not suffered from rot or cracking during the interval of non-use.
