2021 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · MD70 UWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to servicing. The most recent test in August 2025 at 59,380 miles showed a pass, yet the tester flagged thinning front brake pads. This follows a pattern seen in 2024 where multiple consumable and mechanical components required attention, suggesting that the owner typically addresses faults only when they approach an MOT failure threshold. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical high-use profile, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. There is a clear interval of 18,642 miles between the August 2023 and August 2024 tests, and another 9,538 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing components from seizing, but it also explains the accelerated wear observed on the braking system and tyres noted in the record. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and tyre assembly in person. The 2024 advisory noted pitting and scoring on the rear brake discs, and the 2025 advisory regarding thin front pads indicates the entire braking circuit may be nearing a significant service interval. Furthermore, the 2024 report of uneven wear on both front tyres suggests potential wheel alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be visually verified. The buyer must also ensure that all wheel bolts are properly torqued, given the 2023 failure for a missing offside rear road wheel fixing.
