2019 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · SC69 XMG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test in January 2026 at 40,392 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of reactive repairs. While the most recent test initially resulted in a minor light-related failure for an inoperative reversing lamp, the subsequent pass within seven days indicates no further defects. This suggests the owner is willing to address immediate safety failures once they are identified by the tester. At seven years of age, the recorded mileage of 40,392 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,770 miles. This low usage often correlates with the mechanical issues observed in the history, specifically regarding the braking system. The gap between the January 2024 test at 34,599 miles and the January 2025 test at 37,006 miles shows relatively consistent but infrequent driving, which can lead to corrosion on metal surfaces and rubber components rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system due to recurring reports of pitting and scoring. The 2024 failure at 34,599 miles flagged both rear brake discs as worn and both rear pads as below the 1.5mm threshold. By the January 2025 test at 37,006 miles, the front discs showed similar pitting and scoring. This pattern suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, allowing moisture to attack the rotors. An inspection should verify that the current discs and pads have sufficient life and that the calipers are not seizing due to age-related corrosion.
