2020 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · ST20 KXK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in January 2026. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, though the most recent MOT indicates a minor lapse in pre-test preparation. While the car failed on 9 January 2026 at 31,509 miles due to non-mechanical trifles such as a discoloured indicator bulb, insufficient washer fluid, and perished rear tyres, these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass on the same day. At six years old, the Ford Focus shows a low-mile profile, averaging approximately 5,250 miles per year. The usage pattern is consistent, with a gap of 3,820 miles between June 2023 and January 2024, and another 4,057 miles covered in the following year. This low annual mileage accumulation typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to average fleet vehicles, though long intervals between use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components that are not captured by tread depth measurements. A buyer should physically inspect the rear tyres specifically, as the January 2026 failure for cracking and perishing suggests the rubber may be aging despite the low mileage. The recurring mention of the offside rear indicator colour across 2025 and 2026 indicates a vulnerability to UV damage or moisture ingress in the housing that requires monitoring. Since the record shows no structural corrosion, brake binding issues, or suspension failures, the focus should remain on verifying the condition of rubber seals and ensuring the washer system is not suffering from blockages or leaks.
