2021 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · AF71 ODG

The Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 78,720 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 23 August 2024 at 59,190 miles also passed cleanly. The duplicate entry for 23 August 2024 showing a fail with no defects recorded is a DVSA administrative anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical fault, so the underlying condition trend is clean and consistent across both valid tests. The mileage pattern sits high for a 2021 registration. The car covered 19,530 miles between August 2024 and August 2025, against a five-year average of roughly 15,744 miles per year, indicating above-average use concentrated in the later ownership period. With only two test points and a clean record at both, the history is sparse but shows no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across the recorded interval. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable items not captured by a pass with no defects. At 78,720 miles the front brake discs and pads, coil springs, and anti-roll bar bushes will be approaching mid-life wear thresholds even though the tester logged nothing. Check for early structural rust on sills and subframes given the elevated annual mileage. The absence of recurring advisories suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring faults. Verify service history matches the 15k-plus annual use, and confirm the 2024 duplicate fail entry was clerical by reviewing the DVSA portal before purchase.
