2020 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · MM69 WVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 January 2026 at 167,446 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability following a technical failure in early 2024. While the 2024 test failed due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light, the subsequent pass indicates this issue was rectified and the vehicle has maintained a clean record for the last year. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 28,000 miles per year. Between January 2023 (79,689 miles) and January 2026 (167,446 miles), the car covered nearly 88,000 miles in just three years. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy motorway use, which typically accelerates wear on drivetrain and suspension components. The consistent annual interval of roughly 30,000 miles between tests indicates a regular and predictable usage pattern rather than long periods of standing stationary. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and bushings, as the recurring advisories in 2024 and 2025 regarding uneven tyre wear suggest edge-related issues. These faults often stem from misalignment or worn ball joints which are common on high-mileage vehicles. Given the high annual mileage, the condition of the clutch, gearbox, and turbocharger requires professional mechanical scrutiny, as these components are nearing the end of their typical service life at 167,000 miles.
