2019 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · RY02 DRY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the most recent test on 29 May 2026 at 56,854 miles, it failed the initial inspection due to multiple safety-related defects. The recurring appearance of thin rear brake pads and perishing tyres suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults once they triggered an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 16,450 miles between the May 2024 test at 29,722 miles and the May 2025 test at 46,172 miles, followed by another 10,682 miles in the final year. This steady accumulation suggests the car was used regularly, which is generally positive for preventing the degradation of rubber components compared to long periods of standing. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The 2026 failure flagged thin offside rear inner brake pads and cracking on both rear tyres, indicating that the rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life. You must verify that these were replaced with quality parts and check for any uneven wear. Additionally, the history of headlamp alignment and bulb issues between 2025 and 2026 warrants a check for secure wiring that could cause intermittent electrical failures in the future.
