2005 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · EF05 AHL

The 2005 Ford Focus passed its most recent MOT test on 22 December 2022 at 73,357 miles, with no defects recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend in the immediate past, with no notable issues or advisories raised by the tester. The recorded mileage of approximately 3,493 miles per year since 2009 is remarkably low for its age, suggesting either light use or extended periods of inactivity. A notable gap in mileage accumulation occurred between 2009 and 2014, with just over 1,000 miles added in five years. Conversely, the recent years have seen a steady increase in mileage, with 22,000 miles added between 2014 and 2022. This pattern may indicate a recent change in usage or ownership. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's tyres closely, as the 2020 MOT test flagged worn nearside and offside front tyres close to the legal limit. The presence of an engine under shield obscuring the view of some components in 2020 may also be worth investigating. Furthermore, the 2010 MOT failure highlighted issues with the windscreen washers and excessive exhaust emissions, which should be checked to ensure they are functioning correctly. While the recent tests have been clean, a thorough examination of the vehicle's brakes, suspension, and structural integrity is recommended to identify any potential issues that may have arisen since the last test.
