2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CE57 YHB

The 2007 Ford Focus presents a mixed roadworthiness picture, carrying a current MOT that expires on May 27, 2027, following a pass issued on May 28, 2026, at 100,535 miles. The maintenance trend leans toward reactive upkeep rather than proactive servicing, highlighted by recurring failures that stem from basic consumable neglect. The most recent test required rectifying a headlamp aim issue alongside advisory warnings for front tyres worn close to the legal limit and a minor engine oil leak. Similar tyre failures occurred in June 2024 and June 2018, demonstrating a persistent pattern of running rubber down to the legal threshold before replacement. The vehicle has accumulated 100,535 miles over roughly nineteen years, averaging about 5,291 miles annually, which qualifies as low mileage for its age. Yearly progression shows consistent usage without prolonged periods of storage, moving steadily from 32,073 miles in March 2016 up to the latest recorded figure. The mileage accumulation rate remained stable across the decade, showing typical annual increments ranging between six and ten thousand miles. This steady cadence indicates the car has been in regular, light-to-moderate service throughout its lifecycle. Prospective buyers must inspect several recurring mechanical areas in person before committing to a purchase. The front axle demands close scrutiny, given the history of worn brake discs and pads noted in June 2024, alongside multiple historical advisories and failures regarding tyres and suspension arm rubber bushes flagged back in March 2017. You should check the chassis for structural corrosion and verify the severity of the minor oil leak noted on the latest test. Finally, budget for immediate cosmetic and minor repairs, including the replacement of both deteriorated registration plates and the front tyres that are once again worn close to their legal edges.
