2020 Ford Focus 1.5L Petrol · SM69 VMP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 25,908 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have likely been addressed. This transition from a list of multiple advisories to a clean pass suggests the owner has taken proactive action to rectify noted wear and tear. The car exhibits exceptionally low mileage for its six-year age, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage noted between the November 2022 test at 2,168 miles and the November 2023 test at 8,494 miles, followed by a more rapid accumulation of over 9,000 miles leading into late 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the intermittent use can sometimes lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake hardware if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and the front wheels. The 2023 and 2024 tests repeatedly flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs along with thinning pads, and while the 2025 pass was clean, a visual check should confirm the components were replaced rather than merely cleaned. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding a slightly distorted offside front road wheel warrants a check for vibrations at higher speeds to ensure the wheel was replaced or rectified correctly.
