2007 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · MT57 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history over the last several years. The most recent test on 17 October 2024 at 109,448 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful inspections dating back to at least 2021, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring structural or mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2007 model, averaging approximately 5,760 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 100,942 miles in October 2021 to 109,448 miles in October 2024. While the low annual mileage suggests light usage, such patterns can sometimes lead to issues with rubber components or seals that degrade through lack of movement. The single failure recorded on 28 October 2022 at 104,593 miles was immediately rectified, as evidenced by the passing result on the same day. A physical inspection should focus on age-related wear that MOT testing may not fully capture. Given the low annual mileage, you should check for perished suspension bushes, cracked sidewalls on tyres, and any signs of corrosion on the underside or exhaust system. While the MOT record is clean, the age of the vehicle means components like coil springs, brake discs, and various rubber engine mounts may be nearing the end of their service life regardless of the mileage covered.
