2020 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AV69 SWK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 November 2025 at 47,201 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that any previous mechanical concerns identified in earlier tests have been addressed. This suggests the vehicle is currently operating in a clean state relative to the DVSA testing criteria. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light-use cycles, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the car covered 6,323 miles, with a further 1,278 miles recorded in the year leading up to the latest test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged periods of inactivity, which generally reduces the degradation of drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. The history highlights a specific point of attention in November 2023 at 44,381 miles, where the tester flagged thin rear brake pads and pitted or scored rear brake discs. The fact that subsequent tests showed no further defects related to these components confirms that the owner performed the necessary remedial work. A buyer should still verify the current thickness of the brake pads and inspect the surface of the discs to ensure no new corrosion has developed since the last inspection. Given the lack of structural advisories in the last three years, the physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres, as these are the most common points of failure on a Focus of this age. The overall record reflects a vehicle that has been maintained to meet compliance and has maintained a consistent testing schedule.
