Mechanical Assessment

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 broadly roadworthy profile based on the most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 90,238 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, with consecutive clean passes aside from an anomalous failure on 24 October 2024 at identical mileage of 87,057 where no defects were listed. That earlier failure preceded a pass four days later, indicating either an administrative anomaly or a rectified non-itemised fault. Mileage progression tracks typical use for an eleven-year-old Focus. The record shows 67,380 miles on 19 July 2023, rising to 69,983 by 30 October 2023, then a substantial jump to 87,057 by October 2024, equating to roughly 17,000 miles in a year, above the circa 8,200 annual average. The latest test at 90,238 miles in October 2025 shows only 3,181 miles added over the subsequent twelve months, implying reduced recent usage. Sparse test entries before 2023 leave earlier care unverified, but the posted results show no recorded advisories. Buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components despite the clean ledger. The 2015 chassis may harbour corrosion on structural members, degraded suspension bushes, coil springs or worn brake discs not captured by the absence of advisories. Examine exhaust emissions integrity and check for binding calipers during a road test. The lack of flagged faults suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the 2024 fail with no defects warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVSA records align.
