AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

In the September 2025 test at 85,761 miles, the examiner passed the Ford Focus with no defects recorded, confirming a stable maintenance trend. Annual MOTs from October 2021 to September 2025 each returned a clean result. The history reveals no recurring suspension, brake, or structural issues. Mileage accumulation reflects typical family-car usage for a 2016 registration. The October 2021 test logged 45,720 miles. Twelve months later the odometer showed 57,162, then 66,045 in October 2023, 75,967 in September 2024, and 85,761 in September 2025. This steady climb of roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year shows no rapid accumulation or dormant periods between tests. Supplied records omit earlier entries, yet the unbroken annual sequence signals consistent upkeep. A buyer should still inspect common wear points that pristine MOT sheets do not preclude. The tester flagged no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, but aged rubber and corroding subframes demand visual checks. Previous owners clearly met basic statutory standards; however, verifying caliper operation, exhaust integrity, and underbody rust protection remains sound practice on a ten-year-old vehicle.
