2007 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · LR57 AEA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT was conducted on 2023-05-25, over three years ago, with no defects recorded. However, the absence of subsequent tests raises concerns about its current roadworthiness. The maintenance history shows inconsistent results, including a failure on 2023-05-13 at 133,852 miles, though no defects were logged. This pattern suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded issues, but no mechanical faults were explicitly flagged. The lack of recent inspections limits confidence in the car’s ongoing compliance. Mileage progression indicates steady usage, averaging approximately 7,047 miles annually since 2019. The 2022-05-13 test at 127,899 miles recorded a pass, while a 2021-05-13 pass at 122,597 miles preceded a failure on 2021-05-12 with identical mileage. This proximity of tests and identical mileages may reflect administrative inconsistencies. The absence of defects in all recorded tests is notable, but the sparse data and long gaps between MOTs hinder a comprehensive assessment of wear. A buyer should prioritize an independent inspection of the braking system, suspension components, and exhaust emissions, as these areas are critical for older vehicles. The 2007 model’s age increases risks of corrosion, worn suspension bushes, and degraded brake discs, even if not flagged in MOT records. The expired MOT status also necessitates immediate retesting, as the vehicle is legally non-compliant. Structural integrity and tyre condition should be verified, given the high mileage and potential for undetected wear.
