2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GD56 EHG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass in February 2026 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a marked improvement compared to the previous period of instability. While the car failed its tests in early 2024 and early 2025, the transition to a clean sheet in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner has addressed the necessary repairs to bring the vehicle back to a passing standard. Data regarding mileage progression is severely limited, making it impossible to determine the annual usage patterns. The last recorded mileage was 102,821 miles in February 2018. Since there is no mileage data provided for the tests in 2024, 2025, or 2026, it remains unclear if the vehicle has been driven long distances or has sat stationary. This lack of information prevents an assessment of component wear rates or the likelihood of imminent service requirements. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided record does not list the mechanical reasons for those failures. Given the age of this Ford Focus, a thorough check for structural integrity is essential. Inspect the underside for corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and mounting points, which are common failure points for this model. Additionally, examine the suspension bushes for perished rubber and brake linkages to ensure the recent passes were thorough repairs rather than temporary fixes.
