2021 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · AV21 YSN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. The most recent test on July 3 2025 at 88,682 miles resulted in a pass despite the front brake pads wearing thin. This follows a previous pass in 2024 with significant tyre issues, suggesting the owner only addresses components once they reach the point of failure or legal limit thresholds. The mileage profile is notably high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,700 miles per annum. Between the April 2024 test at 75,832 miles and the July 2025 test at 88,682 miles, the car covered 12,850 miles in just fifteen months. This rapid accumulation places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and consumable items compared to average private-use patterns. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and alignment. The April 2024 advisory regarding both nearside and offside front tyres being worn on the edge often points to incorrect tracking settings or worn suspension bushes. Given the high mileage and the noted thin brake pads in 2025, a physical check of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear is also essential to ensure the system is not nearing immediate mechanical failure.
