2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · KW56 AOU

The 2007 Ford Focus presents a currently valid roadworthy certificate following the 2 May 2025 MOT pass at 136,585 miles. Maintenance trend is stable, with no mechanical defects or advisories logged across the three most recent annual tests. The record shows a peculiar repeat of same-week failures and passes in May 2024 and May 2025, both with zero defects recorded. The tester failed the car on 1 May 2025 and again on 3 May 2024 yet cleared it within twenty-four hours at near-identical mileage, indicating administrative or procedural anomalies rather than deteriorating condition. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a nineteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 119,720 miles at the April 2023 test to 125,746 miles by May 2024, then to 136,585 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 miles in the first interval and 10,800 in the second, a modest rise but still close to the long-term average of 7,189 miles per year. The DVSA history is sparse, containing only five entries across three years, yet each test returned a clean sheet on mechanical grounds. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components that MOT entries did not flag. The tester recorded no corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects, but nineteen years will degrade rubber suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake caliper seals. Examine subframes and sills for structural rust, check brake discs for scoring, and verify exhaust emissions under load. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries warrant confirmation that the V5C and prior certificates are in order, as previous owners may have presented incomplete paperwork rather than neglected core maintenance.
