Ford Focus Active Edition MHEV (2022)
2022 Ford Focus Active Edition MHEV
CarHunch analysed 120 real MOT records for the 2022 Ford Focus Active Edition MHEV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2022 Focus Active is a strong performer, with a 91.5% first-time pass rate that sits 11.5 points above the UK average of 80%—and dangerously defects are rare at just 5%, well below the concern threshold. The petrol version (which makes up virtually all of the sample) sustains that reliability picture reliably across the board.
At just under 27,000 km on average, these cars are still very young and lightly used, which partly explains the low failure rate of 0.13 per vehicle. The modest advisory rate of 0.9 per car suggests minor wear items are starting to surface, but nothing systemic—if you're buying one, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on brake pad and tyre condition rather than structural concerns.
What to check before buying a 2022 Ford Focus Active Edition MHEV
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
