2005 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · YB05 OLH

The 2022‑06‑14 MOT at 33,700 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA’s roadworthiness criteria despite the presence of corrosion and suspension wear. The record shows a stable maintenance pattern; no major mechanical failures have occurred since the 2020 test, and the most recent inspection did not introduce new critical defects, indicating that previous owners have addressed issues as they arose. With 33,700 miles recorded over 21 years, the average annual mileage is about 1,600 miles, reflecting light use; however the interval between the 2015‑2016 test (27,372 to 29,210 miles) shows a higher accumulation of 1,838 miles in one year, while the period from 2020‑2021 saw only 345 miles, suggesting periods of infrequent use. A prospective buyer should therefore inspect the rear and front suspension arms and bushes for excessive movement or corrosion, verify the integrity of the near‑side front coil spring after the 2020 fracture note, examine the off‑side front brake disc for the severe wear recorded in 2020, and check the condition of the structural sills, integral body panels and wing panels for ongoing rust, as these areas have repeatedly been flagged. The tyres, especially the near‑side rear outer tyre, should be assessed for perishing and tread depth, and any loose exhaust or heat‑shield components must be confirmed as secure.
