2019 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · EG19 HFP

The 2025‑08‑07 MOT at 43,848 miles failed, so the vehicle is presently not roadworthy. The record shows recurring brake disc pitting and corrosion, persistent tyre wear below the 1.6 mm legal limit, and wiper failures that appeared only in the latest test, indicating a trend that is not improving but rather maintaining or worsening existing faults. Mileage accumulation is steady relative to the car’s age. From the 2022‑05‑30 test at 33,718 miles to the 2023‑08‑11 test at 39,398 miles the vehicle covered roughly 5,680 miles in 15 months, then added 3,330 miles by 2024‑08‑07 and a further 1,120 miles by the 2025‑08‑07 test, showing consistent use without major gaps. A buyer should inspect the front and rear brake discs for pitting, scoring or structural weakness, verify that calipers are not binding, and examine suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive wear. Tyre tread depth on all four wheels must be measured, wiper linkage and blade condition checked, and any light corrosion noted on the front discs and chassis assessed for progressive rust. Structural integrity should also be confirmed, especially around the front suspension mounting points. Given the repeated brake and tyre deficiencies and the recent failure, a thorough pre‑purchase inspection focusing on braking and suspension components is essential; the mileage history suggests normal usage but the pattern of recurring defects points to possible neglect of routine maintenance.
