2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GD56 ELU

The 2025-03-12 MOT at 147,751 miles passed without any recorded defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. All previous tests from March 2022 through March 2025 also passed with no defects, showing no deterioration in condition. The mileage increase from 125,036 miles in March 2022 to 147,751 miles in March 2025 represents an average annual rise of about 7,800 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s 19‑year age and typical usage for a 2007 model. The interval between the 2024-03-11 test (141,348 miles) and the 2025-03-03 failure‑to‑pass test (147,568 miles) shows a 6,220‑mile jump over twelve months, slightly above the yearly average but not indicative of abnormal wear. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, inspect the rear brake calipers for binding, and verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these components commonly deteriorate with high annual mileage. Corrosion on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and structural members, should be assessed, together with the exhaust system’s integrity and emissions output. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection of tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and any hidden structural damage is advisable before purchase.
