2020 Ford Focus 1.5L Petrol · FL20 DNJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 at 34,453 miles. The maintenance trend shows a shift from significant consumable wear to more minor external defects, such as a deteriorated registration plate and a defective wiper blade. While the car has passed every test, the history of tyre-related failures suggests that the previous owner only addressed components once they reached legal thresholds rather than performing preventative replacements. At six years old, the recorded mileage of 34,453 miles averages to approximately 5,700 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The usage pattern appears relatively consistent, with roughly 5,600 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,500 miles between 2025 and 2026. This low mileage generally implies less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading if the vehicle sat stationary for long periods. A buyer must inspect the tyres and suspension geometry in person, as the 2024 and 2025 tests flagged all four tyres for being near the legal limit and showing edge wear or cracking. Consistent edge wear often indicates an incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes which could lead to unpredictable handling if not corrected. Given the reports of perishing and cracking in 2024, a physical check of the tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure the rubber has not become brittle due to age despite the low mileage.
