2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FG07 FGP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in April 2022 at 153,071 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car met all minimum safety standards at that time. Following a single failure in March 2020, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any advisories, suggesting that the previous owner proactively addressed necessary repairs before they escalated into failures. At 153,071 miles, this nineteen-year-old Focus has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for its age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,000 miles recorded between April 2021 and April 2022, and another 10,000 miles between 2020 and 2021. However, there is a significant gap in the record as the last test occurred in April 2022. Since four years have passed since that last entry, the current state of consumable components, rubber bushings, and structural integrity remains unverified by the DVSA database. A physical inspection must prioritize the chassis and subframe for corrosion, as vehicles of this era are prone to structural rust in the mounting points. Focus on the suspension components, specifically the coil springs and wish arms, which often show signs of wear at this mileage. Given the lapse since the last MOT, the buyer should also check for brake caliper seizing and inspect the condition of the exhaust system to ensure no significant degradation has occurred during the recent period of unrecorded use or storage.
