2020 Ford Focus ST-Line Edition Mhev 1.0L Petrol · DV70 BKD

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 48,274 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows a trend of clean passes across the previous three tests, indicating that the vehicle is maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical and structural failures typically flagged by DVSA testers. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap between November 2023 and March 2024 where the car covered only 23 miles over four months, suggesting a period of limited use. However, the usage increased significantly thereafter, with 8,462 miles clocked between the February 2025 test and the March 2026 test. This regularity suggests consistent driving cycles which is generally beneficial for preventing the seizure of components or the degradation of components within the MHEV system. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories regarding suspension, brakes, or corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of consumables not covered by the test. A buyer should check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the record does not indicate binding calipers or thinning discs. Given the age, inspecting the rubber bushes in the suspension and checking for minor cracking is prudent to ensure the vehicle's handling remains as sharp as the clean test history.
