2020 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · HV69 AXT

The 2020 Ford Focus with 39,120 miles recently passed its MOT on 2026-05-14, but there were some significant issues noted. The nearside front road wheel is slightly distorted, and the engine cover and undershield are obscuring components. These issues, while not causing an immediate fail, indicate potential underlying problems that need attention. The most recent MOT history shows a concerning trend. In 2026, the car failed initially due to multiple issues, including worn and damaged rear brake pads and discs, a bulging nearside front tyre, and cracked and perishing offside and nearside rear tyres. These defects suggest that the vehicle's braking and tyre systems are degrading, which are critical for safety. Comparing this to the previous MOT in 2025, where the rear brake discs and pads were already showing signs of wear, it's clear that the condition of these components has worsened. This indicates a deteriorating trend, particularly in the braking system and tyres, which are essential for safe operation. The mileage of 39,120 miles over six years, or about 6,520 miles per year, is typical for a car of this age. However, the recent increase in defects suggests that the vehicle may have been subjected to more wear and tear than the mileage alone would indicate.
