2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · CA15 ADX

The Ford Focus holds a valid MOT pass dated 8 July 2025 at 219,542 miles with no defects recorded, confirming a stable maintenance trend through the latest cycle. Testers passed the car again on 22 July 2024 at 205,737 miles and on 28 July 2023 at 183,040 miles with clean sheets. The DVSA logged a failure on 28 July 2023 at the same 183,040 miles yet listed no defects, indicating a clerical or presentation anomaly rather than mechanical decline. Odometer reading of 219,542 against an 11-year life equates to roughly 19,958 miles per year, a high figure for a 2015 hatchback. The car covered 23,488 miles between the 28 July 2022 test at 159,552 miles and the July 2023 test, then 22,697 miles to July 2024, before slowing to 13,805 miles by July 2025. Such sustained accumulation implies fleet or commuter duty. The sparse record shows zero advisories across all tests, a pattern that may reflect disciplined servicing or lenient inspection. A buyer must physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs given the mileage, even though the MOT entries flag no wear. Testers noted no corrosion or structural issues, but high-mileage Focus models often develop subframe rust and tired steering joints unseen in a brief test. The unexplained fail on 28 July 2023 with no defects demands retrieval of the DVSA failure code to rule out emissions or documentation faults. Previous owners kept annual test discipline yet recorded no consumable items like tyres or wiper blades across 60,000 miles, so hands-on checks of tread depth and blade condition remain essential. Drivetrain mounts and exhaust hangers warrant scrutiny for fatigue. The overall trajectory stays stable, but in-person verification of mechanical integrity overrides the clean paper history.
