2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · NA07 RJY

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the available MOT data, with the most recent recorded test in November 2021 showing a clean pass at 98,856 miles. While the record shows two instances of failure in 2020 and 2021, these were resolved within days and did not result in long-term recurring advisories. The lack of noted defects in the final two years of recorded testing suggests that the vehicle was maintained sufficiently to meet minimum legal standards during its final documented period. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2007 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,203 miles per year. The data shows a consistent progression from 86,123 miles in November 2019 to 93,988 miles in November 2020, and finally reaching 98,856 miles by November 2021. This steady, low-mileage usage pattern often indicates light commuting or shorter trips, though it can sometimes lead to specific wear patterns in components that benefit from regular motorway use. Because the MOT record is currently outdated by nearly five years, a thorough physical inspection is essential. The low annual mileage suggests the car may have spent significant time stationary, which can lead to perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or degraded suspension bushes. A buyer should specifically examine the underside for structural corrosion and check the condition of the drive belts and cooling system hoses, as these items often deteriorate due to age rather than mileage. The mechanical integrity of the braking system and suspension should be verified through a road test. While the MOT history shows no persistent issues with brake discs or pads, the age of the vehicle makes it prudent to inspect the coil springs and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue or leaks. Given the gap in the testing history, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be confirmed without a recent inspection.
