2007 Ford Focus Titanium Tdci 1.8L Heavy oil · YKZ 5243

The most recent test, on 5 July 2024, shows a pass with no defects recorded, which makes the vehicle roadworthy on paper. However, that pass came just seventeen days after a failure on 18 June 2024 at the same recorded mileage of 122,429. The failure listing shows no defects, which is unusual, but the swift re-test suggests the matter was minor and corrected. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable: the car passed in January 2023 and January 2022 before the mid-2024 blip, and it has now cleared that hurdle. The mileage pattern is difficult to read with confidence because the 2024 test entries state zero miles, likely an odometer data error or a period of disuse. Between January 2022 and January 2023, the car covered roughly 5,700 miles, a modest annual rate. From January 2023 to July 2024, the recorded mileage stayed pinned at 122,429 across three separate tests, which suggests the car was either laid up or the odometer was not reading during that timeframe. For a nineteen-year-old Focus, 122,000 miles is not excessive, but the lack of movement in the last eighteen months before the 2024 pass points toward standing time rather than everyday use. Because the MOT history is so sparse on actual fault details, direct inspection should target age-related deterioration that standing vehicles often suffer. Check the rear brakes for binding calipers and corroded discs, and examine all suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or seizure, particularly after long inactivity. Tyres may show flat-spotting or perishing even if tread depth is legal, so look for cracks in the sidewalls and uneven wear. Structural corrosion is also a risk on a car of this age, so probe the sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points for rust. The recorded mileage needs physical verification against the odometer and service paperwork, because the zero-mile entries cast doubt on the true reading and the continuity of use.The most recent test, on 5 July 2024, shows a pass with no defects recorded, which makes the vehicle roadworthy on paper.
