2007 Ford Focus C-MAX 2.0L Petrol · SH56 AEO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 116,172 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a clean roadworthiness status at that point. The simultaneous fail on the same date likely reflects a retest after a minor correction, though no specific faults are listed in the record. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring issues or advisories across the three annual tests from 2023 to 2025. The recorded mileage of 116,172 miles over 19 years equates to roughly 6,114 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests show consistent usage: 8,252 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, and 4,840 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This pattern suggests regular driving without prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive annual mileage. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should inspect for age-related deterioration common to a 19-year-old Ford. Check for corrosion on suspension components, brake lines, and the exhaust system, as these are typical failure points on older vehicles. Examine the condition of tyres, brake discs, and pads, as consumable wear is not always captured in MOT records. Verify the timing belt replacement history, as this is a critical maintenance item for the engine. A thorough mechanical inspection by a qualified technician is advisable to assess overall condition beyond the MOT data.
