2007 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · DG07 ULL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in January 2023 at 108,203 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day which suggests a minor, immediate issue, likely a consumable item, that was rectified instantly. Since that point, the car has maintained a clean record without any recurring mechanical failures or structural advisories. The mileage profile is notably low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. The data shows a steady but infrequent usage, moving from 86,505 miles in late 2019 to 108,203 miles by early 2023. This gap of over twenty thousand miles between the 2019 and 2023 tests indicates the vehicle is not driven daily. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake seals if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Ford Focus models are prone to corrosion in the rear wheel arches and sills. Given the low annual mileage, pay close attention to any perished suspension bushes and cracked rubber hoses that fail due to age rather than distance. Additionally, examine the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust on the braking system. Even though the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of all fluid-related components and aging parts.
