2022 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · LK22 RYA

This 2022 Ford Focus has covered approximately 26,037 miles, which is a typical annual average of about 6,509 miles. This level of usage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left standing for long periods, which is generally a positive sign for the health of seals, gaskets, and battery longevity. The MOT history is largely clean, with a clear pass in 2025. However, the most recent inspection in May 2026 presents a concerning development. While the car ultimately passed, it initially failed just two days prior due to an engine malfunction indicator lamp being illuminated. This is a significant red flag, as it indicates that the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system detected a fault within the engine management or emissions control systems. The fact that the headlamp aim issues were rectified and the malfunction light was cleared within 48 hours suggests the previous owner addressed the failures quickly to secure a pass. However, because the specific nature of the engine fault was not detailed in the MOT record, it is impossible to know if the underlying issue was permanently repaired or merely reset to clear the dashboard warning light. The overall condition trend is difficult to classify as improving or worsening because the vehicle has only two years of MOT history. While the car is relatively young, the sudden appearance of an engine management fault at such low mileage warrants caution.
