2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · EX07 DSO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 24 February 2025 at 112,703 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in the previous three years, suggesting that the owner has maintained the necessary components to keep the vehicle in operational condition without recurring mechanical failures. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 112,703 miles represents a low annual usage rate of approximately 5,932 miles per year. The data shows consistent use between February 2022 and 2025, with the vehicle covering roughly 3,700 miles in the first interval and 4,600 miles in the second. There is a notable cluster of activity in February 2024, where the vehicle failed a test and then re-tested successfully after only 15 miles and four days later. This specific failure recorded on 23 February 2024 at 108,130 miles indicates a minor issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect. While the MOT record shows no current advisories, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation common in low-mileage vehicles. Buyers must check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and split boots, which can dry out over time regardless of mileage. Given the age of the Focus, a structural integrity check for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is also a priority. Additionally, the brake system should be inspected for seized calipers or pitting, which often occurs when a car sits for extended periods between uses.
