2022 Ford Focus ST-Line Mhev 1.0L Petrol · YC22 GFE

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 28 March 2026 at 28,273 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a nail in the nearside rear tyre. This follows a clean pass in April 2025, where previous defects were immediately rectified, indicating that the owner is responsive to safety-critical MOT failure requirements. The mileage profile is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 12,598 miles between the April 2025 test and the March 2026 test, suggesting a period of higher usage over the last twelve months compared to the earlier years. This relatively low total mileage for the age generally suggests that mechanical wear on the MHEV drivetrain, braking components, and suspension assembly should be within acceptable limits compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment. The failure in April 2025 flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres for worn edges, which often indicates a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. While the vehicle passed subsequently, a physical check should confirm that the new tyres are not suffering from similar uneven wear. Additionally, the washer fluid system should be verified for leaks or blockages to ensure the previously reported 2025 failure was fully addressed. Given the low mileage, the brake discs and pads should also be checked for surface corrosion if the car has sat for extended periods.
