2020 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · DT69 VEH

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑12‑09 at 58,816 miles, confirming roadworthiness for that snapshot, but the preceding test on 2025‑12‑04 at 58,710 miles recorded three failures, indicating a short‑lived deterioration before the final pass. Overall the maintenance record shows a stable pattern with a brief worsening episode, after which the car cleared all checks. Mileage has risen steadily from 29,866 miles in February 2023 to 58,816 miles by December 2025, averaging roughly 9,800 miles per year. The jump from 41,422 miles in February 2024 to 47,539 miles in September 2024 reflects a typical annual increase, while the surge to 58,710 miles by early December 2025 suggests either extended use or a period of standing followed by heavy mileage accumulation. No long gaps precede the recent tests, so the data set remains reasonably complete. A buyer should inspect the near‑side rear child‑seat mounting, which previously prevented a full adult‑belt check, and verify that the headlamp aim complies with legal angles after the 2025‑12‑04 failure. The tyre‑pressure‑monitoring system malfunction noted in the same test warrants a functional test of the sensors and wiring. Additionally, examine the brake calipers and discs for binding or uneven wear, and assess suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion that could affect structural integrity. When viewing the car, confirm that the child‑seat fits without restriction, ensure the headlamp alignment is correct, test the tyre‑pressure system for proper operation, and look for any hidden rust or damage around the chassis, suspension mounting points, and brake components. These focused checks will reveal whether the recorded faults were isolated incidents or indicators of broader mechanical neglect.
