2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LT57 ABO

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 8 July 2025 at 90,582 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent three-year trend of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and consistently meets DVSA requirements without the need for corrective repairs between tests. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2007 model, averaging roughly 4,767 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last four years, growing from 78,123 miles in July 2022 to 90,582 miles by July 2025. This suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of stagnation, which typically helps preserve rubber components and prevents the seizing of brake calipers. Despite the clean MOT record, the age of the vehicle necessitates a physical check of areas the MOT tester may not flag as failures. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and sills for surface corrosion, as structural rust often develops gradually before becoming an MOT fail. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or hairline cracks, as these rubber and metal components degrade over nineteen years regardless of low mileage. Verify the age of the tyres and the condition of the brake discs for pitting. Low-mileage cars often run on old tyres that have hardened over time, reducing grip even if the tread depth remains legal. A manual check of the fluid levels and a review of the service history will confirm if the oil and filters have been changed regularly despite the low annual distance covered.
