2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FH07 XPA

The 2007 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 118,730 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since October 2022. The owner has clearly kept the vehicle to a standard that satisfies annual statutory inspection without accruing advisories or repeat failures. Recorded mileage sits at 118,730 against an age of around 19 years, equating to roughly 6,249 miles per year which is typical for the model's age. The test on 30 November 2023 shows two entries on the same day: a failure at 105,963 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass at 105,968 miles, indicating a likely administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Annual increments are modest, rising from 96,643 miles in October 2022 to 105,968 in November 2023, then 113,573 in November 2024 and 118,730 in November 2025, reflecting light and consistent use with no gaps exceeding thirteen months. The absence of any advisories across the last four passed tests suggests the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust emissions have remained within tolerance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm freedom from incipient rust on sills or subframes. Verify the 30 November 2023 failure entry with DVSA to confirm it was a procedural matter and not a suppressed defect. Given the clean record and low annual mileage, previous ownership appears disciplined about basic upkeep. The same-day fail and pass in 2023 warrants documentary clarification, but the prevailing evidence shows no worsening mechanical trend requiring immediate corrective work.
