2007 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · AX56 FCP

The vehicle is not currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT entry dates from 21 July 2022, and the record shows a pass followed immediately by a fail on the same day at 145 633 miles. No defects were recorded, suggesting the fail was administrative rather than mechanical, but the absence of any recent test means the maintenance trend is stagnant and the car cannot be considered safe for the road. Mileage accumulation over the car’s 19‑year life averages roughly 7 600 miles per year, which is typical for a Ford Focus of this age. The MOT history contains only that single test date, indicating a four‑year gap without an MOT, a notable lapse that raises questions about ongoing compliance and service regularity. Because the recorded history does not highlight recurring faults, a buyer should inspect the key wear areas in person. Examine tyre tread depth and condition for uneven wear, check suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and assess brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding. Look for rust around wheel arches, sills and underbody panels, and verify the exhaust and emissions hardware for leaks or excessive corrosion. A recent service record and a valid MOT are essential before any further use.
