2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · M1 TTP

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on the most recent MOT pass on 14 October 2025. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories at 242,248 miles suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard sufficient for legal compliance. There is no evidence of worsening mechanical trends or recurring failures in the recent history. The mileage is high for a 2007 model, averaging roughly 12,750 miles per year. The data shows consistent, heavy usage over the last three years. Between October 2023 and October 2025, the vehicle covered nearly 40,000 miles. This rapid accumulation of mileage puts significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis, though the clean test records indicate these components have been managed effectively. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear items that the MOT test may not fully quantify. While the records show no failures, a car with 242,248 miles typically requires scrutiny of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts for fatigue. Checking for chassis corrosion and ensuring there is no play in the steering rack is essential given the vehicle's age and total distance travelled. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day in October 2023 and October 2024. While the specific defects are not listed, this pattern usually indicates minor consumable failures, such as blown bulbs or worn wiper blades, which were rectified immediately. The lack of structural or major mechanical failures over this period suggests a consistent approach to basic upkeep.
