Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 9 June 2025 at 14,845 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health suggests the car is in good mechanical order and has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without any immediate failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a four year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,711 miles per year. The record shows the car reached 14,845 miles by June 2025. Such low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes indicate periods of inactivity which may affect battery health or tyre flat-spotting. Because the MOT history is sparse and clean, there are no recurring mechanical faults to flag. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumables that degrade with age rather than mileage. Check the tyre date codes for perishing and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, as low-mileage cars often suffer from binding calipers or pitted discs due to infrequent use. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters were changed at the manufacturer's recommended intervals regardless of the low mileage. While the June 2025 test shows no structural or mechanical issues, confirming that the mild hybrid system and battery have been maintained will ensure the vehicle remains reliable.

Our Verdict

This Ford Focus ST-Line Vignale is a str

When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the condition of the tyres, as the most recent MOT noted the nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit and showed signs of sidewall cracking. Ensure the seller has addressed this, as it is a critical safety item.

Check for any evidence of a full service history to accompany the MOT records. Given the MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle) powertrain, ensure the start-stop system functions correctly during your test drive, as this is integral to the efficiency of the 1.0-litre engine.

As a 999cc petrol MHEV, this Focus is designed for efficiency and falls into a competitive VED tax bracket. Insurance groups for the ST-Line Vignale trim are typically moderate, though individual quotes will vary based on your driving history and location.

Maintenance costs should be predictable for a vehicle of this age, though tyres will be your primary consumable expense. You should budget for regular servicing to maintain the efficiency of the mild-hybrid system and ensure the longevity of the engine components.

Prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres, looking specifically for the sidewall cracking and tread depth issues flagged in the 2026 MOT. Verify that the tracking is aligned, as uneven wear can often be a symptom of suspension geometry issues.

Beyond the tyres, perform a standard check of the exterior lighting and windscreen wipers, as these are common failure points for the Focus model range according to aggregate data. Ensure all dashboard warning lights clear correctly after the ignition sequence, particularly those related to the hybrid battery system.

Registered in April 2022, this black Ford Focus has covered 20,323 miles over its four-year life. The vehicle has successfully passed its two most recent MOT tests, with the only recorded item being a tyre advisory in April 2026. Its mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 7,615 miles per year, reflecting steady use.

The Ford Focus generally performs well in MOT testing, with an aggregate pass rate of 92.0% across the analysed fleet.
