2020 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · GD69 NXB

The 2020 Ford Focus presents a stable and improving roadworthiness trend, culminating in a clean pass at 23,487 miles on 17 September 2025. That most recent test recorded zero advisories or failures, a marked improvement over the November 2023 failure where the tester flagged an inoperative engine MIL. The intervening period shows no recurring defects, suggesting the MIL fault was rectified promptly and the vehicle has since been maintained to a consistent standard. The maintenance trend is therefore stable and currently positive. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle. Annual accumulation averages roughly 3,914 miles, with the bulk of use concentrated between December 2022 at 8,411 miles and October 2024 at 17,047 miles, representing approximately 8,636 miles over nearly two years. The jump from October 2024 to September 2025 added only 6,440 miles, indicating a slight reduction in usage rate. The gap between the December 2022 and November 2023 tests shows 4,845 miles covered in under twelve months, a moderate pace. No anomalous spikes or suspiciously low intervals appear in the record. Buyers should note that undertrays and covers were fitted during both the October 2024 and September 2025 tests, obscuring some testable components from the tester's view. This limits the record's usefulness for assessing structural corrosion, subframe condition, and exhaust integrity beneath the car. A physical inspection with the undertrays removed is advisable, paying particular attention to the underside for rust, especially around suspension mounting points, brake lines, and the exhaust system. The November 2023 MIL failure, while resolved, warrants a diagnostic scan to confirm no stored fault codes remain and that all emission-related monitors have completed their readiness cycles. Tyre condition and brake component wear should also be verified in person, as low annual mileage can mask uneven tyre degradation from prolonged standing or infrequent use.
