FORD FOCUS ST ECOBLUE2022 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a clear roadworthiness status of passed, with the most recent MOT dated 2026-02-24 at 49,773 miles. While the first entry was passed at 34,760 miles on 2025-02-17, the progression from 49,773 miles to 34,760 miles suggests a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening one, indicating the vehicle has maintained consistent operational requirements without major structural failures. The test on 2026-02-24 at 49,773 miles was passed for the front and rear brake pads, though the rear brake disc was found worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened, which is a specific and acceptable condition for this mileage range. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle's history shows significant gaps between the 2025 and 2026 tests, with the most recent test occurring 9,013 miles after the previous one. This gap suggests that the owner may have maintained the car for longer periods than the 2025 test, or that the 2026 test was taken on a longer interval than anticipated. The 49,773-mile test is high for a 2022 model, implying that the owner has likely driven the vehicle for approximately 12,443 miles per year, which is substantial for a used car. This high mileage rate correlates with the wear on suspension components, brake discs, and drivetrain parts, necessitating a thorough inspection of these areas before purchase. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear in the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The 2026-02-24 test flagged binding rear brakes, which is a serious mechanical condition that must be addressed immediately to prevent failure. While the 2025-02-17 test showed no defects, the 2026 record indicates that binding rear brakes were found, and the rear brake disc is worn, pitted, or scored. These findings represent a worsening trend compared to the 2025 test, as the brake system is no longer in acceptable condition. The buyer must verify that the suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers are free of rust, corrosion, or binding, and ensure that the exhaust emissions are within the current UK standards.
