2005 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · DG05 UBP

The 2005 Ford Focus tested on 13 August 2024 at 126,811 miles passed its MOT with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The vehicle has now passed every test since August 2021, showing no progressive deterioration in mechanical condition. Mileage rose from 115,185 miles on 9 August 2021 to 120,059 miles on 11 August 2022, then to 123,591 miles on 10 August 2023, before climbing to 126,809 miles on 12 August 2024 and finally 126,811 miles the next day. The jump of only two miles between the two August 2024 entries suggests the car sat idle for a short period before the final test. Over roughly 21 years the average annual mileage sits near 6,000 miles, typical for its age. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or sag, check the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and inspect the exhaust for rust that could compromise structural integrity. Any corrosion around the wheel arches or under‑tray warrants close scrutiny. Tyre tread depth and even wear should be measured, as uneven wear can hint at alignment issues. Overall the MOT history reflects consistent maintenance and no recorded mechanical faults, but a physical inspection remains essential to verify wear on consumables and hidden corrosion.
