2005 Ford Focus Ghia Tdci 1.6L Diesel · UEZ 8885

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 1 August 2023 at 205,886 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of mechanical and safety compliance during its recent operation, avoiding recurring failures common in high-mileage diesel engines. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between September 2018 and August 2023, the car covered 38,628 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than periods of neglect or extreme strain. The gap between the August 2019 and August 2021 tests indicates a longer interval between testing, but the subsequent return to annual testing shows regularity. As the current date is July 2026, the MOT is now nearly three years overdue, making an immediate inspection mandatory to verify the current state of the vehicle. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on typical wear and tear areas for a 200,000-mile Ford Focus. Prioritize the structural integrity of the rear wheel arches and sills for corrosion, as these areas are prone to rust on this generation. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished material, as high mileage often degrades these rubber components. Additionally, check the brake discs for excessive pitting and verify the condition of the turbocharger to ensure no significant degradation has occurred since the last recorded test.
