FORD FOCUS2007 · 2.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test in October 2025 at 116,548 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum legal standards. This follows a period of clean records in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the mechanical requirements to avoid recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's 19-year age, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. This low annual usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts. Between June 2022 at 108,041 miles and October 2025 at 116,548 miles, the car covered 8,507 miles. The failure in August 2023 occurred just three miles before a scheduled test, which was immediately rectified to achieve a passing retest. Despite the clean recent results, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension. As with vehicles of this age and mileage, corrosion on the sills and subframe is a common point of concern. The buyer should also examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as low mileage does not prevent rubber from drying out over decades. Checking the brake discs for pitting or binding calipers will also ensure the lack of recorded defects reflects the actual mechanical state of the braking system.
