2019 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · KM19 CFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred brake maintenance. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 77,812 miles passed, the tester flagged both thin front brake pads and worn discs. This mirrors the advisories from the March 2025 test at 67,457 miles, indicating that the previous owner consistently fails to address brake component wear despite multiple annual warnings. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with a jump of over 17,000 miles between March 2022 and April 2023, followed by roughly 10,000-mile annual intervals through 2024 and 2025. This regular accumulation suggests the car has been used for consistent commuting rather than sitting for long periods, which explains the progressive wear on consumables like wiper blades and tyres noted in the 2023 history. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front braking system to assess the remaining life thickness and surface condition of the discs, as the 2023 record already showed signs of pitting and scoring. The 2026 test also identified an in nearside washer jet and items obstructing the driver's view, which require immediate attention. Given the history of worn edge tyres on the rear in 2023, the current tyre set should be checked for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues or underlying suspension bushing fatigue.
