2007 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · SJ07 RZR

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend following previous failures. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 173,879 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that immediate mechanical and safety issues have been addressed. While the history shows instances of failing and then retesting, the clean results of the two most recent tests suggest the vehicle is currently being maintained to a functional standard that meets legal requirements. At 173,879 miles over 19 years, the car averages approximately 9,152 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent use, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 4,800 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regularity suggests regular mechanical operation rather than long periods of standing, which often helps prevent seal degradation and brake corrosion. A buyer should focus on the specific components that caused the failures in October 2023 and October 2024, although the records provided do not list the specific reasons for those failures. Given the age and mileage of this Focus, a physical inspection of the structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches is essential, as these are common corrosion points for this generation. The inspector should also check for excessive play in suspension bushes and signs of weeping brake calipers to ensure that the components replaced are not nearing the end of their operational life again.
