Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough insp
When viewing this specific blue Focus, pay close attention to the tyres. The 2023 MOT failure highlighted multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit across both front and rear axles, so ensure the current set has ample tread and no uneven wear.
Check the electrical system thoroughly, specifically the rear light clusters and stop lamps, as these were noted as defects in previous inspections. Given the age of the vehicle and the 2022 advisory regarding fluctuating rear service brakes, you should request evidence of recent brake disc and pad replacements to ensure the braking system is performing as expected.
The 2521cc petrol engine will result in higher-than-average fuel consumption compared to smaller Focus variants, likely placing it in a higher fuel cost bracket. Tax and insurance groups will be influenced by the larger engine capacity and the vehicle's age.
Maintenance costs for a 2007 model should be budgeted for wear-and-tear items such as tyres and brakes, which have appeared in the MOT history. Expect typical maintenance costs for a petrol hatchback of this era, though the larger engine may command slightly higher parts costs.
Start with a detailed inspection of the tyres; the 2023 record shows a pattern of multiple tyres being worn close to the legal limit, so look for consistent tread depth across all four wheels. Inspect the rear lighting assembly, including the stop lamps and position lamps, to ensure no intermittent electrical faults remain from the 2023 failure.
Additionally, check the condition of the anti-roll bar linkages. A failure was recorded in 2023 due to play in the nearside rear linkage ball joint. Finally, perform a test drive to check for any brake pulsation, as the 2022 MOT noted fluctuating rear service brakes.
This 2007 Ford Focus features a 2.5L petrol engine and has covered 103,651 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a transition from a failure in late 2023 to two consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2025. However, the recorded mileage is significantly higher than the model's aggregate annual average of 6,849 miles.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.1%, with common failure points being tyres, headlamps, and corrosion.
