2007 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · SP07 RYU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and has maintained a stable maintenance record over the last several years. The most recent MOT test in July 2022 was a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car has been kept up to operational standards recently. This follows a period of consecutive passes since 2020, suggesting a consistent approach to basic mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There was a notable period of activity with nearly 10,000 miles covered between May 2019 and August 2020, followed by a steady accumulation of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles annually. This regular usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for keeping seals and mechanical components from seizing. While the recent MOT results are clean, a buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, which are common wear points on a Focus of this era. Given the high mileage of nearly 190,000 miles, it is essential to check for structural rust on the underside and the condition of the rubber bushings and artwork. Verifying there are no significant oil leaks and checking the integrity of the drivetrain are also prudent steps to ensure the vehicle remains reliable for further use.
