2007 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · JR07 GAZ

The vehicle presents a remarkably stable roadworthiness record, having secured five consecutive annual passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. The most recent inspection on 29 October 2025 at 123,517 miles confirms that the primary mechanical systems, including the braking, steering, and lighting circuits, remain in full compliance with current standards. This clean history suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by previous keepers, as the absence of minor advisories often indicates that consumable items like tyres and wiper blades are replaced proactively rather than being left to fail an inspection. Annual mileage accumulation appears consistent and predictable, averaging roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles per year over the last five years. A notable exception occurred between October 2021 and October 2022, where the vehicle covered approximately 13,000 miles, nearly double its usual rate, before returning to a more moderate pace. This volume of usage is appropriate for a 2007 Ford Focus, suggesting the car has been kept in regular operation rather than suffering from the long-term storage issues that often plague older, low-mileage examples. Despite the exemplary MOT record, a physical inspection remains necessary to identify issues that fall outside the scope of a standard test. Focus models of this vintage are prone to subframe corrosion and rear suspension bush degradation, which can sometimes be overlooked during a basic visual check. You should specifically inspect the sills and wheel arches for signs of structural oxidation, as these areas are common failure points for the platform. Given the high mileage, verify the condition of the clutch bite point and listen for any abnormal whine from the transmission during a test drive, as these mechanical components are reaching the end of their typical service life.
