2019 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · FL69 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite an anomalous recent testing history. The most recent MOT on August 4, 2025 at 88,720 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day that listed no faults. This suggests an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before retesting. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record across multiple annual inspections. The mileage pattern indicates consistent and heavy usage, averaging approximately 12,700 miles per year over its seven-year life. Between the September 2022 test at 56,182 miles and the August 2024 test at 77,664 miles, the vehicle covered 21,482 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car is regularly used rather than sitting idle for long periods, which generally benefits the engine seals and battery. However, the high mileage places significant demand on wear-related components like the suspension and drivetrain assembly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and braking system given the high annual mileage. At nearly 90,000 miles, components like coil springs, arm bushes, and ball joints often show signs of fatigue or rubber tearing. You should also check for uneven brake pad wear and ensure the brake discs are not excessively pitted. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural corrosion, the high mileage justifies a close look at the undercarriage for any fluid leaks or mechanical play from constant use.
