2020 Ford Focus ST Ecoblue 2.0L Diesel · DH14 NJH

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in March 2026 at 60,346 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a lapse in proactive brake maintenance. While the most recent test only flagged a minor advisory regarding a nail in the nearside rear tyre, the previous failure in April 2025 suggests that components were only addressed once they reached a point of legal failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression of roughly 6,000 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, followed by nearly 15,000 miles between April 2025 and March 2026. This recent acceleration suggests the car undergoes regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and rubber components to prevent perish rot or seizing. A buyer should conduct a thorough-person inspection of the front braking system, as the failure in April 2025 at 45,452 miles revealed pads worn down to the legal limit of 1.1mm. Given the mileage covered since that failure, the current discs should be checked for thinning or deep scoring caused by running on low-friction pads. The deteriorated rear registration plate noted in 2023 is a minor cosmetic issue, but the focus should remain on the suspension bushes and tyres to ensure the higher-performance ST ST trim has not suffered from uneven wear.
