2021 Ford Focus ST-Line X Edition Mhev 1.0L Petrol · AV21 AJS

The vehicle presents a strong profile of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 37,667 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates a stable and improving maintenance trend following a single failure point noted in early 2024. The clean sheets across the last two consecutive annual tests suggest that the primary mechanical and structural components are currently being maintained to a high standard without signs of recurring mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles annually. Between the March 2024 test at 22,892 miles and the March 2025 test at 30,230 miles, the car covered 7,338 miles, while the subsequent interval saw 7,437 miles leading to the 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stagnation nor the heavy wear and tear associated with high-mileage motorway commuting. While the recent history is clean, the failure in March 2024 at 22,892 miles warrants a physical inspection of the components that caused the initial rejection to ensure the repair was comprehensive. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and brake components for any premature wear, as these are common areas of attention on this model. Given the MHEV powertrain, the focus should also remain on checking for any fluid leaks or integrity of the exhaust system, though the current MOT record provides no evidence of underlying structural corrosion or mechanical failure.
