2020 Ford Focus ST-Line Edition Mhev 1.0L Petrol · LO70 KMF

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unacceptable and not stable , despite two recent passing tests in 2025 and 2024. The most recent test on 2025-06-09 at 70,073 miles was passed, but this was preceded by a critical failure on 2023-12-15 at 52,319 miles, indicating a worsening maintenance trend. The gap between the two most recent successful tests suggests that the vehicle has not been maintained for a prolonged period, allowing wear on critical components to accumulate. The mileage pattern reveals a significant accumulation of structural integrity risks that is not typical for a vehicle of this age. The odometer reading of 70,073 miles is exceptionally high for a 2020 model, likely reflecting heavy usage or the fact that the car has been sitting for over six years. This rapid mileage increase correlates with the failure event, which occurred during a period of reduced mileage, suggesting that the car has not been serviced at the recommended intervals or that the previous owner had poor driving habits. The lack of a passing test in 2023 further confirms that the vehicle has been in a state of abnormal wear for the last three years. Given the recurring faults and structural risks, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for exhaust emissions and structural integrity in the rear of the chassis, as well as check the suspension bushings and coil springs for signs of wear. The failure on 2023-12-15 at 52,319 miles likely indicates corrosion or exhaust emissions issues, which are common causes of such a severe drop in roadworthiness. If the car is still in the seller's possession, a professional inspection is required to identify the specific cause of the failure and to verify that the vehicle meets current safety standards before it can be sold.
