Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. The vehicle ha
The most critical step for any buyer is to ensure the vehicle passes a fresh MOT test before any funds are exchanged. Because there is no record of testing since 2022, you cannot assume the vehicle is legal or safe to drive. Ensure you verify the current mileage against the 113,089 miles recorded in 2022 to identify any significant usage during the missing years.
Negotiate the price based on the likely cost of bringing the car up to current standards. Given the age and the gap in history, you should also request evidence of any maintenance performed since 2022, as the MOT record alone provides no insight into the mechanical state of the 1.8L engine or the braking system over the last four years.
The 1.8L petrol engine is less fuel-efficient than the smaller Focus variants, which will be reflected in higher monthly fuel spend. As a 2007 model, it falls into an older emissions bracket, meaning the annual road tax will be higher than modern equivalents.
Insurance groups for the Focus are generally moderate, but maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age can be unpredictable. Expect higher spending on wear-and-tear items. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £1,300-£1,600.
Prioritise a thorough inspection for corrosion, as this is one of the top failure reasons for the Ford Focus across aggregate data. Pay close attention to the sills and wheel arches. You should also check the condition of the tyres and headlamps, which are frequently cited as common failure points for this model.
Specifically check the nearside front obligatory mirror, which was noted as slightly damaged during the August 2022 test, to see if it was ever repaired. Finally, check for signs of perished rubber seals or leaking fluids, which often occur when a vehicle has been stationary for long periods.
This 2007 black Ford Focus 1.8 petrol has a recorded mileage of 113,089 miles as of its last MOT in August 2022. While that test resulted in a pass, there is a significant data gap from 2023 through to 2026. The vehicle's value is heavily dependent on whether it has been kept in a roadworthy state during this period of inactivity.
The Ford Focus has an average MOT pass rate of 79.1% across over one million analysed vehicles, indicating moderate reliability.
