2007 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · FD07 LLU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 23 May 2024 at 122,865 miles, with no defects recorded. The trend across the past decade shows a consistent record of passing tests, indicating stable maintenance. The two‑year gap between the last test and today is within the normal interval for a used car, suggesting the vehicle remains roadworthy. At 19 years old the car has accumulated 122,865 miles, an average of 6,467 miles per year, which lies comfortably within typical usage for this model. The MOT mileage progression shows regular annual checks: 112,529 miles in December 2020, 119,009 in September 2021, and 121,152 in November 2022. The jump of 6,480 miles between December 2020 and September 2021 occurs over nine months, a rate that does not indicate unusually rapid wear. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, and the mileage increments are evenly spaced. Potential points of inspection for a prospective buyer include the tyre tread depth and wheel bearings, as the 2017 test flagged a worn front tyre and a rough front bearing. Verify that the front tyres now meet the 1.6 mm legal minimum and that the bearings rotate smoothly. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any cracking or excessive play, particularly under the rear axle where corrosion was noted in 2021. Examine brake discs and pads for wear, even though no defects were recorded in recent tests. Finally, check the body and under‑body for rust patches, especially around the suspension mounting points, to confirm that the corrosion observed in 2021 has not progressed to a structural concern.
