2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LR57 ADU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 December 2025 at 134,468 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the test by mere miles before a clean result, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed specific issues once they were flagged by the DVSA tester rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 134,468 miles represents an average usage of approximately 7,077 miles per year. This is consistent with typical UK mileage for a vehicle of this age, which helps mitigate excessive wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The intervals between tests are remarkably consistent, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 8,700 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady usage suggests the car is used regularly, which prevents long periods of standing that can lead to seized seals or perished rubber components. While the recent records show no active defects, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough structural inspection. A 2007 Focus requires a close look for corrosion corrosion on the sills, rear subframe, and mounting points, as these are common areas of failure for this generation. Given the mileage, the buyer should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or excessive cracking. The lack of advisories in the latest test indicates the vehicle is either in good condition or that the tester did not identify minor consumable wear that will soon require attention.
