2007 Ford Focus C-MAX 1.6L Diesel · FN07 XTF

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of intermittent maintenance-related failures. The most recent MOT test in February 2024 at 151,160 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical or safety issues were successfully addressed. While the history shows failures in 2022 and early 2023, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest the current owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults to maintain legal compliance. At 151,160 miles over 19 years, the car has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per annum. This figure aligns closely with typical usage for a family vehicle of this age, suggesting the components have not been subjected to extreme annual stress. The data shows a consistent accumulation of mileage, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 5,500 miles recorded before the February 2024 inspection. This regular usage pattern generally reduces the risk of component degradation associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, given the vehicle's age and mileage. Although the recent record is clean, the previous failures in 2022 and 2023 indicate that components like suspension bushes, bolts, or brake hardware required attention previously. Check for structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points, as these are common areas of concern for Ford models of this era. Testing the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers will ensure that the recent pass reflects a sound mechanical state rather than a temporary fix.
