Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean results of its most recent recorded tests. The final MOT test conducted in October 2021 at 111,721 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating the car was in mechanically sound condition at that time. While a failure occurred earlier in October 2020, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the identified fault was rectified quickly without leading to a trend of recurring mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,655 miles per annum. Data shows consistent usage between 2018 and 2021, with the odometer reading climbing steadily from 100,474 to 111,721 miles. However, there is a significant gap in the record following the October 2021 test. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has not undergone an official inspection in nearly five years, which leaves the current state of the structural integrity, braking system, and emissions levels entirely unverified. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the underwork and rubber components, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age rather than wear. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for corrosion or fractures which are common on Focus models of this era. Because the car has likely sat for an extended period, test the brake calipers for seized pistons and inspect perished brake hoses. The lack of recent MOT data means any structural rust on the sills or subframes must be manually checked before any purchase.
