2007 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · LB56 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data over the last four years. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 January 2022 at 136,222 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a period of clean passes back to 2018, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum safety requirements without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,170 miles per year. Between December 2018 and January 2022, the car covered 15,606 miles, showing a steady rate of use. While there is a recorded failure on 12 January 2021 at 131,888 miles, the vehicle passed the re-test that same day, suggesting a minor issue that was rectified immediately. The four-year gap between 2018 and 2022 shows consistent testing intervals. Given the lack of advisories in the final test, a buyer should focus on a physical inspection of age-related components that do not always trigger an MOT failure. At 136,222 miles, the way components, specifically the bushes and coil springs, are likely to show signs of wear. Attention should also be paid to surface corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these are common weak points for a Ford Focus of this era that may not be flagged until structural integrity is compromised.
