2007 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · CE07 XNC

This 2007 Ford Focus has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 8 April 2026 at 142,186 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has avoided major mechanical or structural issues during its service life. However, the most recent test occurred just under four months ago, which is within the standard 12-month MOT validity period, but buyers should verify whether the vehicle has since accumulated additional miles or undergone any interim servicing beyond the MOT’s scope. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 17,630 miles between tests, averaging around 7,483 miles annually—a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage, though the final interval between the 2026 and 2025 tests (17,630 miles in 11 months) is slightly higher than the previous 12-month spans. This suggests consistent use without prolonged periods of inactivity, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means wear on consumables like brakes, suspension, and tyres cannot be confirmed beyond the MOT’s basic checks. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to wear at this mileage: the suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly for cracking or excessive play; rear brake calipers, which were not explicitly tested but may exhibit binding or uneven wear given the lack of advisories; and the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, especially around joints and mounts. Structural integrity should also be assessed for signs of rust penetration in wheel arches, sills, or the subframe, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so thorough visual and functional checks are essential.
