2007 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · LS56 FHE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in December 2025 at 115,802 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the owner successfully addressed mechanical and electrical failures identified in previous tests. While the history indicates specific points of failure, the lack of any advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults rather than allowing them to accumulate. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. The record shows regular testing at annual intervals, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 7,600 miles leading to the latest test. This steady usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which often helps preserve the integrity of rubber components and prevents seizing in older Fords. A buyer should specifically inspect the front steering system to verify the previously reported seepage from the November 2024 test at 108,177 miles. Although the vehicle passed since then, steering box leaks can progress to more significant failure if the internal seals degrade. Additionally, the electrical circuit for the nearside rear stop lamp should be checked for intermittent faults to ensure the issue noted in December 2023 remains fully resolved. Given the age of the Focus, a physical check of the chassis for corrosion and the suspension bushes remains essential, as these were not specifically highlighted in the recent records but are common wear points for this model.
