AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 95,126 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a streak of clean passes in 2024, 2023, and 2022, suggesting a reliable approach to maintenance. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The data shows steady usage with consistent intervals, such as the 3,374 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025, and another 2,893 miles between November 2023 and 2024. While low mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown. A buyer should pay close attention to the single failure recorded in November 2022 at 87,057 miles, although the specific reason was not detailed in the provided summary. Given the age of the Focus and the low usage, a physical inspection must focus on structural corrosion in the sills and wheel arches, which are common for this generation. Verify that the suspension bushes are not perished from age and that the brake calipers are not seized due to the vehicle sitting for extended periods between tests.
