2007 Ford Focus C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · SH56 AEL

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 4 December 2025 at 48,165 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health mirrors the results of the four previous annual tests dating back to December 2021, suggesting a consistent level of mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is remarkably low for a 19 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,535 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady, low-volume increase over the last five years, moving from 45,178 miles in December 2021 to 48,165 miles in December 2025. Such low usage implies the car has avoided the typical wear and tear associated with high-mileage commutes, though it also suggests the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and coolant hoses can perish over two decades even if the car is rarely driven. Check for signs of surface corrosion on the sills and chassis, as low-mileage cars often suffer from moisture buildup if stored in damp environments. Verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers. Vehicles with this usage pattern frequently experience brake disc corrosion or binding calipers due to inactivity. While the MOT records show no failures, a manual check for pitting on the discs or sticking sliders is advisable to ensure the braking system remains fluid and responsive.
