2019 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WM19 SVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 June 2026 at 63,256 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, where multiple mechanical and consumable issues were identified. The transition from several advisories to a clean test sheet suggests that the current owner has recently addressed the outstanding faults flagged during the 2025 inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between the May 2022 test at 27,014 miles and the June 2026 test at 63,256 miles, the car covered roughly 36,000 miles, indicating steady use rather than long periods of stagnation. The annual accumulation of miles as recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests is typical, which explains the gradual wear seen on rubber components and brake hardware. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry due to recurring issues. The offside front track rod end ball joint was flagged for slight play in both 2024 and 2025, indicating a component that was nearing the end of its life. Verification that this part has been professionally replaced is essential. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads necessitates a visual check of the remaining friction material to ensure they were actually replaced following the last test. The history also shows a consistent pattern of neglecting tyre maintenance, with multiple entries for tyres reaching the legal limit or perishing between 2022 and 2024. While the recent 2026 test is clean, the buyer should inspect the current tread depth and sidewalls for cracking or uneven wear. Since the 2022 test noted that under trays and engine covers obscured views of certain components, a thorough check of the chassis is advised to ensure no structural corrosion or damage has remained hidden from the tester.
