2021 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · YP21 MBV

The Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 34,093 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three subsequent annual tests back to April 2024 also passed cleanly. No advisories or recurring faults appear across the history, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred repairs. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a five-year-old vehicle. The record shows 23,353 miles on 10 April 2024, rising to 23,367 miles at the pass on 15 April 2024, then 29,991 miles by 3 April 2025 and 34,093 miles by 30 March 2026. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 6,800 miles per year with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. The clean sweep of passes with no consumable wear flags suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a reasonable standard. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The April 2024 failure at 23,353 miles recorded no defects, which points to a administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, but the pass five days later confirms the vehicle met standards. With no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any test, the focus should be on verifying actual tyre tread depth, checking for early structural rust, and confirming the exhaust emissions remain within limits under real-world load. Given the low annual mileage, periods of standing may have occurred, so assess brake calipers for binding and check fluid condition. The DVSA data alone shows no worsening pattern and no outstanding risks, but in-person checks on wear items remain prudent before purchase.
