2007 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · GL57 UGO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history indicates a period of inconsistent testing outcomes. The most recent MOT recorded on 21 December 2021 at 176,671 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle met minimum safety standards at that time. However, the pattern of immediate failures following tests in 2020 and 2021 indicates that the owner frequently had to rectify specific issues before the vehicle could secure a passing certificate. The mileage progression is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 18,755 miles between April 2019 and December 2020, followed by another 12,345 miles between December 2020 and December 2021. This rate suggests a regular usage pattern rather than long periods of inactivity. The lack of data for the final four years up to the current date of June 2026 is a significant concern, as the current state of mechanical components and structural integrity remains unknown through official records. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, which are common failure points on a Ford Focus of this age. Given the high mileage, an inspection for perished rubber bushes and worn coil springs is essential, alongside a thorough check for corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points. Because the history shows a tendency for the vehicle to fail tests prior to passing, the buyer should look for signs of binding calipers, thinning brake discs, or leaks that may have developed since the last recorded test in 2021.
