2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · BN07 OVL

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT certificate from the test conducted on 2026-05-11 at 96,755 miles. However, the maintenance history demonstrates a clear and worsening trend of structural and mechanical issues. Recurring failures across multiple tests, specifically relating to suspension components and exhaust integrity, indicate ongoing neglect of critical safety systems rather than a stable condition. The recorded mileage of 96,755 miles reflects relatively light usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting the car has been used sparingly. This low mileage is offset by the consistent failure of the vehicle in the preceding three tests. Between 2025 and May 2026, the vehicle failed on multiple occasions due to significant corrosion on suspension arms, coil springs, and sub-frames, alongside persistent exhaust leaks and tyre wear issues. A prospective buyer must inspect the suspension system thoroughly for signs of rust or damage, particularly around the rear suspension arms and mounting brackets, as these have been flagged repeatedly. The exhaust system requires immediate attention, as major leaks and defective mounting points were noted in the 2026-05-01 and 2026-05-05 tests. Furthermore, check the parking brake efficiency and ensure all tyres meet current legal tread depth requirements, as these were specific points of failure in the recent history.
