2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GD56 EFV

The 2025-12-16 MOT at 74,810 miles records a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest test. All previous tests from November 2023 through December 2025 show consistent pass outcomes with zero recorded failures, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening or improving trend. At 19 years of age, the Focus has accumulated only 74,810 miles, averaging roughly 3,900 miles per year, which is low for its lifespan. Mileage increments are modest: an increase of 4,413 miles between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, followed by a slower rise of 2,125 miles in the subsequent 0.8‑year period, suggesting the car has been used lightly and stored for extended intervals. A buyer should therefore focus on components that age‑related wear can affect despite the low mileage. Inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers is advisable, as rubber elements often deteriorate over time. The brake system should be examined for binding calipers, worn pads and disc condition, even though the MOT history shows no defects, because corrosion can develop in high‑humidity environments. Particular attention to structural rust around the wheel arches, sills and underbody is warranted, as is a check of the exhaust system for cracks or excessive emissions, given the vehicle’s age.
