2020 Ford Focus Active X Vignale 1.0L Petrol · DA70 CXC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving mechanical presentation. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 November 2025 at 56,613 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that any prior issues identified in previous years have been successfully addressed. This transition from failed tests to clean passes suggests the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet regulatory standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical UK usage for a modern hatchback, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year over its six-year life. Data shows a steady progression with 12,810 miles covered between the November 2023 and December 2024 tests, followed by another 11,675 miles leading to the November 2025 result. This regularity suggests the vehicle is subjected to regular use, which generally helps prevent the degradation of seals and components often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the most recent records are clean, the failures at 32,128 miles and 44,936 miles indicate that the vehicle has required mechanical intervention twice previously. Since the specific reasons for these failures were not detailed in the summary provided, a physical inspection should verify the current state of the suspension bushes and brake components to ensure no recurring issues are emerging. Focus should also be placed on signs of uneven tyre wear or corrosion on the exhaust system, as the history shows the vehicle is capable of failing when maintenance items are overlooked.
