2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · KB07 FSJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record shows a significant gap in recent testing. The most recent MOT conducted on 4 March 2022 at 121,476 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating the car was in good condition at that time. However, because over four years have elapsed since this official inspection, the current roadworthiness status is unknown. The lack of recent data leaves the state of rubber components, fluids, and mechanical integrity unverified for the current operating period. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. Between the January 2020 test at 106,668 miles and the March 2021 test at 114,717 miles, the car covered 8,049 miles. The usage then slowed to 6,759 miles between March 2021 and March 2022 tests. While the low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long period of inactivity between tests can lead to the degradation of seals and fluid corrosion regardless of distance driven. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components due to the vehicle's age and the lapse in documented maintenance. Focus on structural integrity around the rear subframe and wing arches, which are common failure points for this Focus generation. Since the car has not been tested since 2022, check for perished suspension bushes, leaking shock absorbers, and seized brake calipers. The braking system should be specifically tested for corrosion on the discs which often occurs during long periods of stationary use.
