2019 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · SA69 KYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on 27 April 2026. While the overall history shows consistent passes, the most recent test indicates a sudden dip in preventative maintenance. The car failed at 50,904 miles due to critical front tyre wear and a defective offside track rod end. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass days later suggests the owner is reactive to test failures rather than proactive with scheduled component replacement. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between May 2023 at 29,460 miles and April 2026 at 50,904 miles, the car covered roughly 21,000 miles, which aligns with typical annual usage. The interval of 5,836 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows lower usage which sometimes leads to dry rot in rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits for long periods between services. A buyer should scrutinise the front suspension during a physical inspection. The failure of the offside front track rod end at 50,904 miles indicates that wear in the steering linkage is beginning, so a thorough check of the opposite side arms and bushes for similar play is necessary. Furthermore, the uneven wear on the offside front tyre suggests a potential alignment issue that should be verified after the new tyres are fitted to prevent premature degradation of the new rubber.
