2020 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · D9 CYD

The 2020 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 74,667 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior passing test on 11 February 2025 at 50,817 miles also showed a clean sheet. The failed attempt logged on 11 February 2025 at the same mileage carried no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across all five records the vehicle avoided advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. Mileage sat at 33,300 in July 2023, rose to 44,662 by July 2024, then jumped to 50,817 by February 2025. The leap to 74,667 by February 2026 shows roughly 23,850 miles added in twelve months, well above the six-year average of 12,444 per year. At just over six years old the car has covered high mileage for its age, pointing to sustained motorway or commuter use rather than prolonged standing. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with no recorded wear items or consumable replacements flagged across the timeline. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the drivetrain and suspension given the accelerated 2025 to 2026 accumulation. The tester logged no binding calipers or worn coil springs, yet high annual use strains bushings and dampers that a paper test may clear prematurely. Verify tyre tread depth and brake disc condition against the claimed 74,667 miles, since the record offers no evidence of consumable changes. The clean MOT run suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, with the February 2025 failure reflecting paperwork not neglect. Treat the absence of advisories as a positive but not a guarantee; physical checks on structural integrity and underside corrosion remain sensible before purchase.
