2007 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · KC57 NKD

Based on the official DVSA MOT records, this 2007 Ford Focus presents a stable maintenance trend with no recorded defects across its documented history. The most recent test on 5 January 2022 at 166,510 miles passed cleanly, and the preceding tests in 2021, 2019, and 2019 also returned no defects. This pattern suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical or structural faults. However, the MOT certificate expired over four years ago, meaning the car currently has no valid roadworthiness certification and must be tested before any road use. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the January 2019 test at 126,473 miles and the January 2022 test at 166,510 miles, the car covered roughly 40,000 miles over three years, averaging around 13,300 miles annually during that period. This is slightly higher than the overall lifetime average of approximately 8,764 miles per year, indicating a phase of more intensive use before the mileage plateaued. The recorded mileage has not increased since the 2022 test, which could point to the vehicle being stood down, used sparingly, or simply not retested. The data set is sparse but entirely clean, with no advisories or failures to flag. A buyer should approach this car with a thorough physical inspection focused on age-related deterioration rather than any documented recurring fault. Given the 19-year-old chassis and the mileage plateau, priority checks must include structural corrosion around the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as well as the condition of coil springs and suspension bushes. Brake components, particularly calipers for binding and disc wear, should be examined closely, as should the exhaust system for corrosion and leaks. The lack of a current MOT means no recent independent verification of these critical systems, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised before any commitment.
