2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FM64 AED

This 2015 Ford Focus has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its recent MOT history, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the five tests spanning from February 2023 to December 2025. The most recent test on 2025-12-05—just seven months prior to today—confirmed the vehicle passed without fail, despite a rare duplicate entry (one pass, one fail at identical mileage), which may indicate a clerical error rather than mechanical concern. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though this does not preclude hidden issues requiring closer inspection. The mileage progression of 110,096 miles today reflects a consistent annual average of approximately 10,000 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The largest gap between tests occurred between February 2024 (77,023 miles) and November 2024 (82,471 miles), a span of roughly nine months with just 5,448 miles accumulated—suggesting the vehicle may have stood unused or been lightly driven during that period. Conversely, the interval from November 2024 to December 2025 saw 27,625 miles covered in just over a year, indicating more regular use. While this pattern is not unusual, the prolonged inactivity could have allowed minor corrosion or suspension degradation to develop undetected. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—for signs of uneven wear or corrosion, as these are prone to deterioration over 11 years and 110,000 miles. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven pad thickness, warped discs, or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation in recent months. Additionally, examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as prolonged periods of disuse can exacerbate rust formation. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust emissions system, as older Ford Focus models are known to develop leaks or catalytic converter issues over time.
