2020 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AE70 LDU

The 2020 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 August 2025 at 67,527 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed attempt logged on the same date at 67,524 miles showed no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in September 2024 at 62,618 miles and August 2023 at 59,726 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle has accumulated no advisories or recorded wear items across its four-year MOT trail. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,254 miles, in line with typical use for a six-year-old car. The record moves from 59,726 miles in August 2023 to 62,618 miles by September 2024, then to 67,527 miles by August 2025. The step between 2024 and 2025 covers about 4,900 miles over eleven months, showing no abrupt accumulation or long-standing idle gaps. The clean sheet across all entries suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and emissions within limits. With no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion flagged at any stage, the buyer should still confirm structural integrity and underbody condition in person. A clean MOT history does not exempt the car from age-related perishables such as tyre sidewall cracking or wiper degradation. The same-day fail with zero defects points to a clerical issue, not deferred maintenance. Given the sparse but unbroken pass record, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on drivetrain noise, binding calipers under load, and exhaust emissions at cold start. The absence of advisories implies reasonable care, though the 67,524 to 67,527 mile pair on 6 August 2025 warrants a check that the correct vehicle details were logged before purchase.
