2021 Ford Focus ST-Line X Edition Mhev 1.0L Petrol · AF21 LPK

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 29 July 2026 at 63,688 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving, as the minor advisory from early 2025 has been resolved in subsequent tests. The clean sheet from the two most recent examinations suggests that the current owner is addressing emerging issues and that the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety standards. The mileage pattern indicates high-frequency use, averaging approximately 12,700 miles per year which sits above the national average for a five-year-old car. There was a significant jump of 14,000 miles between the March 2024 test (30,922 miles) and the March 2025 test (44,917 miles), followed by another rapid accumulation of 5,000 miles in the five months between February 2026 and July 2026. This consistent usage places predictable stress on mechanical components, particularly the drivetrain and braking system. A buyer should focus on the rear suspension during a physical inspection, as the March 2025 advisory for rear tyres worn to the legal limit on the edge often indicates misalignment or worn bushes. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs and pads is necessary to ensure no uneven wear or thinning material. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the high rate of travel justifies a close look at the MHEV system and tyre condition to ensure they have been maintained according to the mileage interval.
