2013 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CA62 BYM

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-02 shows a pass but highlights recurring brake and tyre issues. Front brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored (1.1.14 (a) (ii)), brake pads were thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)), and the nearside rear tyre showed damage or perishing (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). A separate entry on the same date records a fail for an inoperative engine MIL (8.2.1.2 (h)), suggesting potential underlying engine or emissions system faults. This dual outcome on the same day may indicate inconsistent testing or administrative errors, but the presence of both results underscores unresolved concerns. Recurring mechanical patterns include brake disc and pad wear , tyre degradation , and ABS-related issues . Brake discs have been flagged in every MOT since 2024, with pads also showing thinning. Tyres consistently show edge wear or perishing, particularly on the nearside rear and front. The 2025 MOT also noted a non-functional horn (7.7 (a)) and an ABS fault warning (1.6 (b)), indicating intermittent electrical or sensor problems. These issues suggest ongoing maintenance needs rather than isolated incidents. The trend shows no clear improvement in critical areas.
