2007 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · SP57 FEO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last three years. While the most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 138,865 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, the failure recorded exactly one day prior at the same mileage is unusual and likely indicates an administrative error or a minor issue rectified immediately before the formal re-test. Since March 2023, the car has cleared consecutive annual inspections without advisories, suggesting a high standard of reactive mechanical upkeep by the current owner. The mileage pattern aligns closely with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year over its 19-year lifespan. The data shows steady, incremental progression, with 3,596 miles covered between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 6,875 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of seals, hoses, and brake components by preventing the corrosion associated with stagnation. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of age-related wear items common to the 2007 Focus platform. Focus on the integrity of the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often perish at this mileage regardless of recorded faults. Check the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and sub mounting points, as the MOT only identifies rust once it becomes structurally significant. Given the low mileage, verifying the condition of the tyres and the state of the brake fluid is also essential to ensure the vehicle remains as sound as the digital record suggests.
