2007 Ford Focus Sport S D 1.8L Heavy oil · XHZ 8134

The 2022‑12‑16 MOT at 172,775 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable, improving trend since the earlier failure in December 2020. The odometer reading has risen from 100,902 miles in June 2018 to 172,775 miles by December 2022, an average of roughly 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 19‑year‑old Ford Focus Sport S D. Notable gaps include the 23,064‑mile increase between December 2020 and December 2021 and a further 26,570‑mile rise in the following year, indicating accelerated usage in the last two years. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers move freely and that the brake discs are free of scoring, and inspect the chassis and wheel arches for any signs of structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills, as these areas commonly develop corrosion on high‑mileage examples. The consistent pass rate in the three most recent tests, combined with the absence of recorded defects, suggests that previous owners have addressed any minor issues promptly, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the condition of critical mechanical components before purchase.
