2019 Ford Focus ST 2.3L Petrol · DA12 TAT

The vehicle is currently in good condition, but the MOT record indicates a history of intermittent failures that requires careful inspection. The most recent test on 2026-06-18 shows a clear passing record with 56,965 miles, suggesting the vehicle has maintained its mechanical integrity for a substantial period. However, the preceding five-month interval from 2025-06-26 to 2025-06-27 reveals that the engine and exhaust systems are currently failing, with emissions tests unable to be completed and the catalytic converter missing. This indicates a structural risk in the engine bay that has not been addressed, meaning the vehicle is not roadworthy for commercial use at this time. The mileage accumulation rate is inconsistent with a typical 7-year-old vehicle, as the vehicle has accumulated roughly 8,138 miles per year. While the initial test shows adequate mileage, the rapid mileage gain since the 2025-06-26 failure suggests that the vehicle has been driven or stored for a significant duration without regular servicing. This pattern of rapid mileage accumulation, combined with the recurring engine and exhaust failures, points to a maintenance gap where the owner has likely neglected routine checks on the engine, exhaust, and suspension components. Given the recurring structural and mechanical issues, a buyer must inspect the vehicle immediately to identify and repair the missing catalytic converter, the failing engine MIL, and any potential suspension or brake issues. The engine and exhaust systems are currently in the worst condition, making the vehicle unsuitable for commercial use until these faults are resolved. If the buyer proceeds with commercial use, they must arrange for the missing components to be replaced and have the engine and exhaust systems inspected by a qualified technician to ensure the vehicle meets safety standards.
