2007 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · NG07 UDN

This vehicle presents as mechanically stable and roadworthy based on its MOT history. The most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 74,733 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical failures or systemic degradation. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old car, averaging roughly 3,933 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained relatively steady, increasing by 9,603 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, and 8,904 miles between July 2023 and June 2024. The brief failure on 10 June 2023 at 56,058 miles was resolved within a month, and the lack of recorded defects across multiple years indicates a disciplined approach to maintenance. Despite the clean MOT record, the low annual mileage and the vehicle's age necessitate a physical inspection of rubber components and fluids. Long periods of light use can lead to perished suspension bushes, cracked tyre sidewalls, and degraded engine seals. A buyer should specifically check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of the structural integrity beyond the pass result. Verify the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a vehicle sits idle. While the tester flagged no binding calipers or worn pads in the recent tests, the low mileage suggests the brakes may be aged rather than worn. Checking the service history for oil change intervals will confirm if the owner maintained the engine regardless of the low distance travelled.
