AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Ford Focus is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 29 June 2025 at 80,445 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of the vehicle passing its tests without any listed advisories, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,044 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between 24 January 2024 and 24 January 2025, where the odometer rose from 68,566 to 77,822 miles. This indicates a period of heavier use, though the vehicle maintained its roadworthiness throughout this interval. More recent usage has slowed, with only 2,623 miles added between January and June 2025. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed immediately before passing on the same or following day. In January 2025 at 77,822 miles and June 2025 at 80,440 miles, the car failed but the specific defects are not detailed in the provided data. While the lack of recorded advisories is positive, these rapid fail-to-pass sequences often point to simple consumables like blown bulbs or wiper blades. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and brake discs. While the MOT history is clean, the vehicle is now a decade old and has covered over 80,000 miles. Checking for underbody corrosion and ensuring the brake calipers are not sticking will confirm if the mechanical upkeep has matched the clean MOT record.
