2020 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · GR64 MCC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred consumable repairs. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 47,112 miles passed, the tester flagged thin front brake pads and perishing on both rear tyres. These issues mirror the findings from the April 2025 test, indicating that the previous owner is reacting to MOT advisories rather than performing preventative maintenance between inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-intensity use, averaging approximately 7,850 miles per year over the six-year period. There is a notable gap between the July 2023 test at 27,870 miles and the April 2024 test at 34,580 miles, but the overall accumulation of 47,112 miles suggests a steady usage profile. The low mileage likely explains the dry rot noted on the rear tyres, as rubber compounds can crack due to age and stationary periods despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The record of pitted rear brake discs in 2025 followed by thin front pads in 2026 suggests the braking assembly is nearing the end of its service life. You should also verify the sidewalls of all four tyres for deep cracking, as the tester has flagged this specific issue for two consecutive years. Despite the lack of structural defects or mechanical failures, the recurring advisories indicate that the vehicle will require immediate expenditure to bring it to optimal condition.
