2015 FORD FOCUS1.6L Diesel

The 2015 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 16 June 2023 at 60,288 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Across the available history the vehicle cleared every subsequent annual examination without advisories, indicating no worsening mechanical condition and no recurring fault pattern requiring corrective action. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical expectations for an eleven-year-old car. The record shows 37,956 miles at the 1 October 2020 failure, rising to 46,094 by 7 October 2021, 52,004 by 16 June 2022, and 60,288 by 16 June 2023. That equates to roughly 5,481 miles per year, confirming light use. A notable anomaly appears on 1 October 2020 where the vehicle failed at 37,956 miles yet passed the same day at 37,972 miles with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or data-entry irregularity rather than a genuine mechanical defect. The sparse and clean MOT history offers no flagged wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, or structural corrosion. Low annual mileage and a three-year gap between the last test and today's date of 16 July 2026 mean the car has likely stood unused for extended periods, which risks perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and underbody corrosion invisible to the tester in 2023. A buyer should commission a physical inspection focused on brake binding from prolonged storage, tyre sidewall cracking, fluid degradation, and a thorough underside check for structural rust. The absence of advisories in the record does not exempt the vehicle from age-related deterioration now approaching three years since its last statutory test.
