2021 Ford Focus ST-Line Edition Mhev 1.0L Petrol · GF70 WUO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass during its most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 42,601 miles. This indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the mechanical and structural concerns identified in previous years have clearly been addressed. The absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests that the current owner is proactive regarding rectifying faults flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 24,930 miles and the January 2025 test at 33,277 miles, the car covered 8,347 miles, with another 9,324 miles recorded in the final year leading to the latest inspection. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which typically prevents avoidable corrosion of drivetrain and suspension components compared to vehicles that sit stationary. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry based on the previous history. The January 2024 failure noted an offside front tyre worn to the limit on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The subsequent 2025 advisory regarding a slightly distorted nearside front road wheel further suggests the vehicle may have experienced impacts. An in-person inspection checking for uneven tyre wear or steering wheel vibration is necessary to ensure the wheel distortion has not caused lasting damage to the steering rack or control arms.
