2007 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · PY07 AFK

The vehicle last passed its MOT on 8 July 2025 at 72,516 miles with no defects recorded, which places it in a clean and stable condition at the time of that test. Looking at the sequence of tests since September 2022, the car has passed every annual inspection except for a single initial failure on 4 September 2023 at 65,226 miles, followed by a pass just seventeen days later at 65,229 miles. That pattern, where the fail was quickly rectified and no defects were noted on any subsequent pass, suggests the fault was minor and has not returned. The overall maintenance trend is stable, with no evidence of an ongoing mechanical decline. The mileage history shows a vehicle used sparingly. Between September 2022 and July 2025, the car covered roughly 12,625 miles in under three years, which works out at about 4,400 miles per annum. That is low, and the single largest jump, from 59,891 miles in September 2022 to 65,226 miles in September 2023, still only represents approximately 5,335 miles in a full year. The annual increments are consistent and moderate, which points to regular light use rather than long periods of standing or severe stop-start commuting. At nineteen years old with 72,516 recorded miles, the car has averaged under 3,900 miles per year, so mechanical wear should be modest if the servicing was kept up. Because the MOT records show no defects or advisories at all across the last five tests, there is nothing in the history to suggest a recurring structural or mechanical fault. The absence of advisories on the 2025 pass, however, does not guarantee that suspension bushes, coil springs, or rear brake components are fresh; corrosion and rubber deterioration can progress between tests, especially on a vehicle of this age. A buyer should physically inspect the front and rear suspension for perished bushes and worn ball joints, check the brake discs for lipping and the calipers for binding, and look underneath for surface corrosion on the sills and floor pan. Tyres and wiper blades are consumables and will have been replaced as needed, but given the clean record, the car's main risk at this age is age-related deterioration rather than any fault flagged by the tester.
