2005 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MW55 YDP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The final MOT test conducted on August 1, 2022, at 132,615 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating the car met all minimum safety and environmental standards at that specific time. However, because nearly four years have elapsed since this last recorded test, the vehicle is currently overdue for its MOT and requires an immediate inspection to ensure no significant degradation or mechanical failure has occurred during this extended period of inactivity. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of twenty- years. With a total of 132,615 miles, the car averages approximately 6,315 miles per year. This low annual mileage often reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though it can lead to the drying of rubber-based components and seals. The record shows a steady progression of use between July 2020 and August 2022, with mileage increasing from 118,688 to 132,615 miles over two years, suggesting regular short operation rather than long periods of standing. The history shows failures in 2020 and 2021 that were rectified immediately to achieve a pass. While the specific reasons for these failures are not detailed in the summary, the age of the Ford Focus necessitates a thorough inspection of structural integrity and suspension components. A buyer should specifically check for corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as these are common failure points for this model. Given the long time gap since the last test, the tester must also examine the brake calipers for seized pistons and the condition of suspension bushes to confirm the vehicle remains safe for road use.
