2020 Ford Focus Titanium Edition Mhev 1.0L Petrol · SY70 YPJ

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 15 May 2026 at 55,911 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This represents a clean bill of health following a period of inconsistent upkeep in previous years. The mileage is typical for a six-year-old car, averaging roughly 9,318 miles per year. The distance covered between the November 2023 test at 44,867 miles and the May 2026 test at 55,911 miles shows a steady usage pattern without any erratic spikes or long periods of stagnation that would suggest engine dormancy. A review of the history reveals a pattern of neglecting consumables. The car failed on 16 May 2025 at 52,076 miles due to an offside front tyre with exposed cords and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This follows a May 2024 pass at 48,146 miles where the offside rear tyre was flagged as worn. Failing on a tyre with exposed cords suggests the previous owner ignored clear warning signs of wear, indicating a reactive rather than proactive approach to basic maintenance. A buyer should verify the current condition of the braking system. The May 2024 test flagged thin front brake pads, and the May 2025 test noted that both front brake discs were worn. While the May 2026 certificate is clean, it is worth confirming whether the discs and pads were actually replaced or simply remained within the legal limit. The loose rear heatshields flagged in May 2025 should also be checked to ensure they were properly secured and not just temporarily patched.
