2022 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · VJ10 MMJ

The most recent MOT on 17 April 2026 was a clean pass at 39,789 mi, and the previous test a year earlier also passed with no defects recorded. With two consecutive years of fault‑free MOTs, there is no evidence of any emerging safety or reliability issue. Because the MOT data show no recorded defects, the mechanical trend appears stable rather than worsening. The vehicle’s mileage – just under 10,000 mi per year – sits squarely within the normal range for a 2022 model. This suggests the car has been driven neither excessively hard nor left idle for long periods, so typical wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres and suspension components should be moderate. However, mileage alone cannot reveal how the car was used, so the signal remains ambiguous and should be confirmed by a visual inspection. For a buyer, the priority checks are: Examine the condition of the tyres (tread depth, sidewall wear) and confirm they match the age of the car. Test the brakes for any pulsation, noise or reduced feel, and look for uneven wear on pads or discs. Verify that the suspension feels solid – no clunks or excessive bounce when the car is pushed over bumps. Review the service history to ensure regular oil changes and any recommended part replacements (e.g., timing belt/chain) have been performed.
