Ford Focus - MOT History check - Carlucho

Hello,

I'm looking to buy a ford focus. I checked the mot history on a 2014 focus for sale and noticed it passed the MOT in march 2019 and then passed another in June 2019. I was wondering what could be the reason for this? In both cases it passed with no advisories.

The usual reason is that a selling dealer has re-MOT tested the car in order that it can be sold with a newly-issued 12 month MOT.

You will find that many used car dealers do this. To a certain extent it's also for their own protection. The last car I purchased had been MOT'd in March and then tested again in May, in the same year, which was when I purchased the car from a dealer.

Nothing to worry about as already said but of more concern is the appalling reliability record of the 1.0 Ecoboost motor. If this is fitted to the Focus you’re looking at I suggest a rethink.

Thank you.

I'm only interested in the 1.6 petrol. Are they ok?

Very much so. It’s a highly robust and well proven Yamaha design with no real vices.
