2021 Ford Focus Titanium Edition Mhev 1.0L Petrol · EO21 UHT

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, having secured three consecutive MOT passes without a single defect or advisory recorded. This stable trend is evidenced by the most recent clean pass on 13 January 2026, suggesting that the primary structural and safety components have remained within DVSA limits throughout its operational life. The recorded mileage of 61,760 miles is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,352 miles per year. Such an accumulation rate typically indicates a high proportion of long-distance or motorway usage, which generally places less stress on the engine through fewer cold starts but increases the wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake consumables compared to a low-mileage city car. While the MOT history is devoid of specific failures, the high mileage necessitates a focused physical inspection of wear-and-tear items. During a test drive, pay close attention to the suspension for any knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces, which would indicate the onset of wear in the control arm bushes or drop links. Check for any steering pull or vibration at motorway speeds, and ensure the brake pedal feel is firm without any judder, which would suggest uneven brake disc wear. Given the mild hybrid powertrain, ensure the transition between the electric motor and the internal combustion engine is seamless and free from excessive shudder. Verify that the gear shifts are crisp and that there is no slipping under acceleration. Since no oil leaks or corrosion were flagged in the DVSA records, a visual check of the engine bay for fresh seepage and the underbody for surface corrosion will confirm if the vehicle's physical condition matches its clean testing history.
