2005 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · KE55 AED

The 2005 Ford Focus shows a currently valid roadworthiness status, having passed the most recent MOT on 12 March 2022 at 128,911 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. Two earlier failures on 9 March 2022 and 30 July 2019 occurred at identical or near-identical mileages to the subsequent passes, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than latent vehicle defects. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,139 miles per year against the recorded 128,911 miles. The gap between the 29 April 2017 test at 106,224 miles and the 30 July 2019 failure at 121,617 miles shows about 15,393 miles covered over 27 months, a normal use pattern. From July 2019 to March 2022 the odometer moved only 7,294 miles, indicating lighter recent use. The record is sparse, with just five entries, and notably clean of corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record contains no advisories that would evidence such checks were needed or carried out. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be physically examined for age-related fatigue despite the absence of recorded defects. The twin failure-pass pairs at 121,617/121,761 miles and 128,911 miles warrant confirmation that the vehicle was presented correctly and not subject to unresolved test disputes. Given the clean test lineage and modest annual mileage, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance. No recurring consumable neglect or serious mechanical risk is evidenced in the DVSA data. Physical verification of tyre condition, exhaust integrity, and drivetrain wear remains prudent before purchase.
