2020 Ford Focus ST-Line X Edition Mhev 1.0L Petrol · SY70 HRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 13,562 miles. The maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward minor component wear rather than systemic mechanical failure. While the car passed the latest test, the tester specifically flagged the offside rear brake disc for pitting and scoring. This indicates that while the brakes remain functional, they are showing early signs of surface corrosion or wear often associated with low-use vehicles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,260 miles per year. Data shows significant gaps between tests, such as the 2,400 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and a similar low volume recorded thereafter. This low usage pattern often suggests the car sits for extended periods, which explains the condition of the brake hardware and the 2024 advisory regarding an offside front tyre found near the legal limit at just 5,652 miles. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system during a physical appraisal. The pitted offside rear brake disc noted in late October 2025 suggests that replacement may be imminent to prevent poor braking performance or uneven pad wear. You should also check all tyres for flat spotting or cracking, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from rubber degradation rather than tread wear. Given the low mileage, verifying the condition of suspension rubberwork and fluid levels is essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered due to prolonged inactivity.
