2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · KA57 XLH

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, having failed its most recent test on 11 November 2025 at 114,412 miles. This failure is anomalous as the record lists no specific defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or a failure to present the vehicle for re-test. Prior to this, the maintenance trend appeared exceptionally stable, with clean passes recorded annually from December 2021 through December 2024. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 6,022 miles per year. The distance covered between the December 2021 test at 97,053 miles and the December 2022 test at 104,874 miles shows a peak usage period of 7,821 miles. Since then, annual mileage has decreased, with only 3,841 miles added between December 2022 and December 2023. The absence of advisories across five years of testing is unusual for a nineteen year old Ford Focus. While the clean record suggests a well-maintained vehicle, the lack of flagged wear on consumables like brake discs, suspension bushes, or tyres often indicates a superficial inspection rather than a flawless mechanical state. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and sills for corrosion, as structural rust is common for this era but notably absent from these records. Check the condition of the coil springs and the operation of the braking system to ensure no binding calipers are present. Given the most recent failure without listed defects, verify the current MOT status and ensure all outstanding mechanical issues are rectified before purchase.
