2005 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · MA05 BCY

The 2025‑06‑26 MOT at 147,139 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and a stable maintenance trend; all preceding tests from 2022 through 2024 were either passed or, in the case of the June 2024 failure, resolved promptly with a subsequent pass at the same mileage. Mileage has increased from 129,263 miles in June 2022 to 147,139 miles in June 2025, averaging roughly 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 21‑year‑old vehicle; the interval between the 2023 and 2024 tests covers about 5,600 miles, and the 15‑mile gap between the failed and passed 2024 tests indicates a rapid re‑test after minor corrective work. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear, examine the chassis and wheel‑arch areas for structural rust, and confirm that the exhaust system meets emission standards; the absence of recorded defects suggests these components remain consistent with the vehicle’s mileage and age.
