2019 Ford Focus ST 2.3L Petrol · OT02 CAM

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 25 May 2026 at 38,531 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a recent lapse in attention to detail, as the car failed just twenty days prior at 38,511 miles due to mismatched tyre sizes on the rear axle. This safety-critical failure was rectified immediately for the re-test, and no other mechanical or structural defects were identified during the latest inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, moving from 21,820 miles in November 2023 to 38,531 miles in May 2026. This low-frequency usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the long intervals between drives can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts regardless of the mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear tyres, as the record from November 2023 at 21,820 miles flagged perishing and cracking on both tyres. Given the low mileage and potential for vehicle standing, dry rot is a more likely concern than tread wear. The buyer should also verify that the current rear tyres are identical in size and specification to avoid a repeat of the May 2026 failure, and check for any signs of corrosion or seized bushings which can affect cars that sit stationary for extended periods.
