2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · K3 OLL

The 2007 Ford Focus is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 March 2026 at 34,142 miles. The test recorded only corrosion advisories on the front sub‑frame and both rear suspension arms, indicating a stable condition after the brief failure in early 2025. The maintenance pattern shows an improving trend, with no new defects introduced since the tyre‑related failure. Mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s 19‑year life averages roughly 1,800 miles per year, a low figure that suggests light use or prolonged periods of storage. The log shows steady, modest gains: from 32,570 miles in February 2024 to 33,331 miles in February 2025 (≈761 miles) and then to 34,142 miles in March 2026 (≈811 miles). Gaps between tests have varied, with the longest interval spanning just over a year in 2025‑2026, but the data remains consistent and sparse enough to indicate minimal wear. A prospective buyer should closely examine the corrosion noted on the front sub‑frame and rear suspension arms, checking for any loss of structural integrity or excessive rust. The rear tyres that showed bulges and cracking in February 2025 require thorough inspection for internal separation and proper tread depth. Brake pad wear recorded in February 2020 should be verified, as thin pads can lead to reduced stopping power. Additionally, the direction indicators should be checked for discolouration, and the suspension arm bushes inspected for wear. Finally, because the vehicle has been stored for long periods, rust protection and overall rust surface condition merit close attention.
