2020 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · BU70 AVB

The 2020 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 47,429 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed entry on the same date at 47,428 miles shows no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a clean pass. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for the vehicle's six-year life, averaging roughly 7,905 miles per year. The record moves from 17,312 miles at the 13 September 2023 test, to 31,154 miles on 3 October 2024, then 47,429 miles by September 2025. That equates to about 13,800 miles covered in the past year, a step up from prior annual use but still within normal bounds. The history is sparse and clean, with no advisories or recorded wear across any test. Given the absence of flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake discs, the previous owner appears to have maintained the car to a standard that avoided statutory defects. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not always caught at test, including tyre sidewall condition, wiper blade wear, and underbody corrosion around sills and subframes. The duplicate 26 September 2025 entries warrant a check of the DVSA certificate to confirm the failure reason was non-mechanical. Beyond that, the Focus requires only standard pre-purchase checks on fluid levels, clutch operation, and suspension ride quality given the low overall mileage.
