2015 FORD FOCUS1.6L Diesel

The most recent MOT on 20 January 2026 recorded a failure for thin front brake pads and an off‑side rear direction‑indicator of the wrong colour, meaning the vehicle is not roadworthy until those items are rectified. Re‑current brake‑pad wear and tyre‑tread warnings across several years indicate a deteriorating maintenance trend rather than an improving one. Mileage has risen from 29,730 mi in February 2018 to 128,765 mi in January 2026, averaging roughly 12,000 mi per annum – a pattern typical for a vehicle of this age. No significant mileage gaps appear; the odometer progression aligns closely with the annual MOT dates, suggesting steady use rather than prolonged storage or sudden spikes. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front brake pads and discs, confirming that replacement has been carried out and that the pads now exceed the 1.5 mm minimum. Tyre tread on all four wheels must be inspected, as the record shows repeated tread‑depth failures from 2020 onward. The rear direction‑indicator lamp and ABS warning lamp should be checked for proper operation, given the 2026 and 2025 failures respectively. Steering rack play noted in the 31 January 2025 test warrants a hands‑on assessment of steering feel and any binding. Finally, the windscreen wipers and any residual exhaust‑emission issues should be examined, as past advisories suggest possible wear in those systems. Addressing these points will determine whether the car can be safely returned to a road‑worthy state.
