2019 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AY64 AYR

The 2025‑10‑22 MOT at 45,606 miles resulted in a pass, with only a minor near‑side front wheel rim distortion noted as a defect, and the earlier 2025‑10‑17 failure at 45,601 miles listed the off‑side rear tyre, near‑side front track‑rod end ball joint and the same wheel rim distortion as defects that the owner subsequently repaired. The mileage record spans seven years from 19,735 miles in October 2022 to 45,606 miles in October 2025, averaging roughly 6,500 miles per year, which is typical for a 2019 model. However, the jump from 22,253 miles in April 2023 to 41,684 miles in April 2024 represents an increase of nearly 19,500 miles in a single year, suggesting a period of heavy use, while the subsequent rise to 45,606 miles in October 2025 is more modest. Earlier intervals show steady growth, indicating regular driving rather than prolonged standing. A buyer should therefore inspect the near‑side front suspension components, paying close attention to the track‑rod end ball joint and associated bushes for wear or looseness, and verify that the tyre cut history has not compromised sidewall integrity. The repeated wheel rim distortion warrants a check of wheel straightness, tyre tread depth and bead seating, as well as an assessment of the wheel bearing condition. Any signs of uneven tyre wear or persistent play in the steering linkage should be addressed before purchase. Overall, the vehicle is presently roadworthy, but the documented tyre cuts and suspension play point to potential underlying neglect that could affect longevity. A thorough physical examination of the suspension geometry, tyre condition, wheel integrity and brake components is essential to confirm that the recent repairs have eliminated the earlier defects and that no latent structural or mechanical issues remain.
