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 currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 23 July 2025. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate rectification following test failures. Specifically, the failure on 04 July 2025 was resolved with a pass just three weeks later without any recorded defects, suggesting the previous owner was proactive in addressing MOT-related compliance issues rather than allowing mechanical faults to persist. Mileage data indicates a consistent usage pattern over the last two years. The vehicle progressed from 117,068 miles in June 2023 to 125,460 miles by July 2024, representing an accumulation of approximately 8,400 miles in 13 months. This figure aligns with average annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. While the lack of a recorded mileage for the 2025 test prevents a precise calculation of the current rate of wear, the previous interval suggests the car has not been subjected to neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided records do not explicitly list the technical defect codes for those instances. Given the age and mileage of this Focus, a thorough check of the front suspension bushes and coil springs is essential, as these are common failure points on this model. The buyer should also inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and check the brake line integrity to ensure that the recent clean passes are not masking underlying structural degradation.
