2007 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · MT57 SWY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean record over the last several years. The most recent test on 18 March 2025 at 122,948 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on the same day at just nine miles prior, which suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial adjustment that was rectified immediately. The lack of advisories across multiple tests indicates a consistent level of basic mechanical upkeep. At 19 years old, the recorded 122,948 miles represent an average usage of approximately 6,471 miles per year. This low mileage is consistent with light-use patterns, which typically reduces the wear seen on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows steady progression, with 4,164 miles covered between February 2023 and January 2024, and another 5,595 miles between January 2024 and March 2025. This regularity suggests the car has been used predictably rather than left stationary for long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must focus their inspection on age-related degradation inherent to a Focus of this era. While low mileage protects moving parts, rubber-based components such as suspension bushes, mounts, and hoses often perish over two decades regardless of distance driven. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as MOT tests do not always flag surface rust until it reaches a critical threshold. Additionally, inspect the brake system for seized calipers or perished hoses, as low-use vehicles can lead to internal corrosion on the discs and cylinders.
