2007 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · HW02 SMW

The vehicle displays a stable and encouraging maintenance trend, concluding with a clean pass on 21 October 2025 at 85,138 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the two most recent annual inspections suggests that the current keeper has maintained the mechanical health of the car to a high standard. This consistent record of passes indicates that the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition with no immediate evidence of neglected repairs. At 85,138 miles over a 19-year lifespan, the vehicle averages approximately 4,481 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the typical UK usage profile. The mileage accumulation has remained steady and predictable throughout the provided five-year history, with no evidence of long-term storage or erratic usage patterns. The jump of roughly 4,200 miles between October 2021 and October 2022 represents the most active period, while the minimal usage recorded between October 2024 and October 2025 confirms the car is still being driven regularly but sparingly. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the engine bay, specifically targeting the area identified in the October 2023 test where an oil leak was noted. Although this was deemed minor and did not reappear in subsequent tests, the age of the vehicle makes it prone to perishing rubber seals and gaskets. Verify that the underside remains free of corrosion, particularly around the subframes and sills, as the low mileage might mask the effects of long-term environmental exposure. Given the age of the Ford Focus, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these components often degrade due to time rather than just mechanical wear.
