2019 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · SD69 TVV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing suspension and brake wear. The most recent test in June 2025 at 50,302 miles passed with an advisory for a light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber. This is a recurring issue, first noted during the June 2024 test at 39,746 miles, indicating that the component has not been replaced despite the intervening 10,000 miles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the July 2022 test at 16,390 miles and the June 2023 test at 28,000 miles, where the car covered over 11,000 miles in eleven months. Since then, the usage has remained at a steady rate of roughly 10,000 miles annually, which explains the gradual wear on consumable items like brakes and suspension components seen in later records. A buyer must physically inspect the offside rear shock absorber to determine if the misting has progressed to a functional leak. The 2024 record also flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs, suggesting the previous owner waited until components were near failure limits rather than performing preventative maintenance. Furthermore, the offside front track rod end ball joint showed slight play in 2023; while this passed the subsequent test, a manual check of the steering linkage and bushes is necessary to ensure no further play has developed.
