2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · GF57 CHC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2021 at 115,075 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car met all safety and emissions standards at that time. While a failure occurred in early December 2020, the immediate rectification and pass on the same day suggest the owner was proactive in addressing identified mechanical faults. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of nineteen years, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between December 2018 and December 2021, the car covered 26,956 miles, showing a steady rate of low use. However, there is a significant data gap in the record as the last recorded MOT was in late 2021. As of June 2026, the vehicle is overdue for its test by over four years, which increases the likelihood that age-related degradation in rubber components, perished hoses, or fluid leaks has gone unnoticed despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as these are prone to corrosion on a Focus of this era. Given the lapse in recent testing, a thorough check for mounting rust on the rear subframe and sills is essential. The history does not show recurring issues with brakes or suspension bushes, but the buyer should manually inspect for binding calipers or worn bushings that often seize or crack during long periods of standing or low-frequency use.
