2021 Ford Focus Titanium Edition Mhev 1.0L Petrol · LO21 VVX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT test on 10 June 2026. While the overall status is positive, the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward component wear. The tester flagged the offside rear brake pads as wearing thin at 68,024 miles, marking the first defect recorded in three years. This indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase where routine consumable replacements require attention. The car has accumulated a significant mileage for its five-year age, averaging approximately 13,600 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 39,258 miles and the June 2026 test at 68,024 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 29,000 miles in just two years. This high annual usage suggests consistent use, likely motorway driving, which typically places specific demands on the mild hybrid drivetrain, suspension, and braking components compared to lower-mileage vehicles. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to determine if the thin offside pad is indicative of a sticking caliper or simply mileage-related wear. Given the high mileage, it is also essential to check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue. The lack of recorded defects in the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the structural integrity remains sound, but the recent brake advisory necessitates a closer look at the remaining hardware.
