2019 Ford Focus ST 2.3L Petrol · RO69 GAX

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with only a single failure recorded across five tests. This failure occurred in September 2024 due to structural cuts in both rear tyres, which were rectified prior to a pass on 2024-10-04. The most recent inspection on 2025-09-08 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories, indicating a stable mechanical state regarding the components checked during the MOT process. The recorded mileage of 54,561 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,794 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This usage pattern suggests a balanced distribution of wear across the drivetrain and chassis components, avoiding the risks associated with prolonged stationary periods or the accelerated wear found in high-mileage examples. Given the previous failure regarding deep cuts in the rear tyres, a physical inspection of the current tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure they are free from similar structural damage or bulging. Verifying the current tyre condition will confirm that the previous defects were addressed and that the current set is fit for purpose. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake binding, or structural corrosion, the test drive should focus on confirming this absence of wear. Listen for any knocks or rattles from the suspension over uneven surfaces and feel for any steering pull or pedal judder, which would indicate issues not captured in the most recent clean pass.
