2007 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · KC57 MMU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite its high mileage and age. The most recent MOT test conducted on 13 January 2024 at 208,271 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car is currently in a compliant mechanical state. This represents a significant improvement over the previous years in 2022 and 2023 where the vehicle failed its initial tests, suggesting that the current owner has proactively addressed necessary repairs to maintain a passing standard. At 208,271 miles over 19 years, the Focus has averaged approximately 11,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK national averages for a vehicle of this era. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 16,144 miles covered between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 14,550 miles recorded between January 2023 and 2024. This regular operation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which helps prevent seals and braking components from drying out or seizing excessively. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as high-mileage Focuses of this generation are prone to corrosion on the subframe and mounting points. While the recent records are clean, the failures in 2022 and 2023 indicate that the vehicle requires mechanical intervention to meet safety standards. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the rubber suspension bushes, control arms, and the condition of the brake lines is essential to ensure these components are not nearing a point of imminent failure.
