2007 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · CX57 FFN

The DVSA record shows the Ford Focus passed its most recent test on 15 January 2022 at 82,576 miles with no defects recorded. The same-day failure on 15 January 2022 at identical mileage, listed with no defects, points to an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. On the evidence available, the maintenance trend is neither worsening nor improving but simply static, with the last test now over four years old as of July 2026. The odometer stood at 82,576 miles across both 2022 entries, equating to roughly 4,346 miles per year since registration in 2007. This is low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle and suggests either light use or extended periods off the road. The record contains no intermediate tests between 2022 and the present date, leaving a four-year gap with no verified mechanical evidence. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase. Low mileage combined with long standing invites perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, degraded brake hoses, and flat-spotted tyres. The tester should check for corrosion on structural members, assess brake disc condition, and confirm the coil springs are free of fracture. The same-day pass and defect-free failure offer no recurring fault pattern to track. Given the age and stalled history, treat the vehicle as unverified since January 2022 and budget for consumable renewal regardless of the clean 2022 sheet.
