2021 Ford Focus Active X Vignale Eblue A 1.5L Diesel · MV21 ACJ

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-09-09 MOT at 39,149 miles confirming no defects. Previous tests from 2025-03-31, 2024-05-01, and 2024-02-05 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failed test on 2024-02-02 at 33,457 miles recorded no defects, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor technical failure unrelated to critical systems. The absence of recurring faults in subsequent inspections implies the vehicle has remained mechanically sound. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,830 miles annually. The gap between the 2024-02-02 failed test (33,457 miles) and the next 2024-02-05 test (33,459 miles) indicates minimal driving activity in that period, possibly reflecting storage or infrequent use. Subsequent tests show steady mileage accumulation, with no abrupt spikes that might signal excessive wear on components like tyres, brakes, or suspension. The clean MOT history since 2024-05-01 suggests no significant mechanical deterioration. A buyer should verify the suspension system for wear, particularly given the low mileage in early 2024, which could hint at prolonged inactivity affecting bushes or coil springs. The exhaust system and brake components, common failure points, should be inspected for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are not assessed in MOTs beyond basic functionality. Structural integrity remains untested in the record, so a thorough visual check for rust or panel damage is advisable. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern reflects responsible upkeep, but physical inspection is necessary to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
