2019 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · MM69 EVX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a decline in preventative care based on the most recent inspection. While the car passed in July 2025 at 41,238 miles, multiple advisories emerged that were absent in the previous clean tests. The shift from a zero-defect record to a list involving brake, tyre, and illumination issues suggests the current owner may be deferring routine maintenance until the MOT deadline approaches. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 11,457 miles between the December 2022 test at 16,742 miles and the January 2024 test at 28,199 miles, followed by another 13,039 miles covered in the 18 months leading to the July 2025 inspection. This low usage often leads to dry rot in rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces, which aligns with the perished tyres and corroded discs noted in the latest report. A buyer must inspect the braking system specifically, as the 2025 test flagged thin rear brake pads and corroded discs. These issues indicate the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods, allowing oxidation to build up. The front tyres also require immediate attention, as the nearside tyre is cut and worn unevenly, which could indicate an alignment issue or incorrect pressure. Additionally, the deteriorated rear registration plate needs replacement to ensure legibility and prevent future failure.
