2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CV57 OEP

The 2007 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its two most recent MOT tests. The September 2022 examination at 113,309 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, matching the September 2021 pass at 109,526 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening or recurring mechanical faults in the official record. The mileage pattern indicates light use for a 19-year-old car. Between September 2021 and September 2022 the odometer advanced only 3,783 miles, an annual rate well below the 5,964-mile average implied by the lifetime figure. The sparse history of just two tests leaves long intervals unverified, but the clean results suggest the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance without neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural corrosion and suspension bushes given the vehicle's age and low annual mileage, which often masks standing-related rust. The absence of advisories on brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions in 2022 does not guarantee current condition after nearly four years of potential disuse. Verify the 113,309-mile reading against service stamps and confirm the car has not been idle long enough to seize calipers or flat-spot tyres. The record implies conscientious MOT adherence rather than full mechanical refurbishment, so pre-purchase scrutiny of consumables remains prudent.
