2005 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · NM05 AJO

The 2024‑01‑19 MOT at 101,489 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. All previous tests from 2021 through 2023 also showed passes with zero defects, suggesting consistent upkeep. Mileage has increased incrementally: 95,103 miles in August 2021, 99,507 miles in January 2023, and 101,489 miles in January 2024, reflecting an average annual increase of roughly 4,800 miles, which aligns with the vehicle’s age of 21 years and a low‑usage pattern. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect brake discs for scoring, and verify the condition of the exhaust system and structural panels for rust, especially around the wheel arches and chassis rails. Although the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection of tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the integrity of the drivetrain mounts is advisable to confirm that low mileage has not masked underlying deterioration.
