Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. While the
The primary concern with this vehicle is the gap in MOT history from April 2022 to September 2026. You must establish why the vehicle has not been tested for four years and whether it has been stored or driven illegally. Demand a fresh MOT test before committing to the purchase to identify any degradation that has occurred during this period.
Given the age of the vehicle, verify the service history for the 1.8L engine, specifically looking for timing belt and water pump replacements. Negotiate the price based on the likely cost of bringing the car back up to a roadworthy standard, as a vehicle sitting idle for years often requires new tyres, battery, and brake overhauls.
The 1.8L petrol engine offers a balance of power but will have higher fuel consumption and road tax costs than the smaller Focus variants. Insurance groups for this era of Focus are generally moderate, making it accessible for many drivers.
Annual costs will be influenced by the age of the car, with maintenance likely increasing as components reach the end of their natural lifespan. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Pay close attention to the exhaust system and emissions; the 2022 records show both a minor exhaust leak and a Lambda reading failure, which suggests potential issues with the oxygen sensor or catalytic converter. Inspect the front suspension, specifically the coil springs, as the nearside front was recorded as fractured in 2022.
Additionally, check the chassis and sills for corrosion. While not noted in this specific vehicle's limited history, corrosion is listed as a top MOT failure reason for the Ford Focus across aggregate data. Ensure all lighting is functional, as headlamp failures are also common for this model.
This 2007 blue Ford Focus 1.8L petrol has a recorded mileage of 90,024 miles as of its last test in 2022. This figure is notably below the average annual mileage for this model. However, the vehicle has no recorded MOT history for over four years, making its current roadworthiness unknown.
The Ford Focus has an average MOT pass rate of 79.1%, with the most frequent failures relating to tyres, headlamps, and corrosion.
