2020 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · YY70 AAZ

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT test on 24 February 2026 at 83,195 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This outcome confirms a stable and positive maintenance trend, as the vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections without any advisories or failures since at least March 2023. Such a clean record suggests that the previous owner adhered to a proactive servicing schedule, addressing potential issues before they escalated into test failures. The recorded mileage of 83,195 miles over a six-year period indicates an average annual usage of approximately 13,866 miles, which sits well above the typical UK average. The data shows a significant spike in usage between the February 2024 test at 47,663 miles and the February 2025 test at 66,250 miles, representing an accumulation of nearly 19,000 miles in a single year. This pattern points toward heavy motorway use rather than short, stop-start urban trips, which generally places less stress on the clutch and braking systems but accelerates wear on high-mileage consumables like tyres and suspension components. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs, as these parts endure significant fatigue over this distance. Check the brake discs for signs of thinning or lip formation and inspect the underside for any surface corrosion that may have developed during high-speed motorway driving. While the MOT history is exemplary, the mechanical components are now entering a phase where wear-related replacements become inevitable, so verify the service history for evidence of recent fluid changes and timing belt maintenance to ensure the drivetrain remains reliable.
