2021 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · FV71 AHX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a brief period of mechanical concern. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 November 2025 at 34,566 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This represents a positive trend compared to the failure in October 2024, indicating that the previous owner addressed the necessary repairs and the vehicle has since maintained a clean standard of compliance across subsequent tests. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per annum. The data shows a high frequency of testing in late 2024 and 2025, with only 185 miles recorded between the May 2025 and November 2025 tests. This pattern suggests short-distance urban driving or infrequent use, which typically limits wear on mechanical components like the engine and drivetrain but can occasionally lead to brake corrosion or battery issues not visible on high-mileage vehicles. While the recent records are clean, a buyer should verify the specific cause of the failure recorded in October 2024 test at 33,784 miles. Since the record does not list the specific defect, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, brake lines, and exhaust assemblies is necessary to ensure the issue was properly rectified. Given the low mileage between recent intervals, check for signs of flat tyre spotting or pitting on the brake discs, which often affect vehicles that remain stationary for long periods.
