FORD FOCUS2015 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs. The latest test on 23 October 2025 at 54,577 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This clean pass suggests that the current owner has been proactive in resolving faults flagged by the tester, moving away from the deteriorating condition seen in earlier years. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 2,700 miles driven between the November 2024 and October 2025 tests, and a similar pattern in the years preceding it. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can lead to the degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion, which is consistent with the issues found in the history. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the rear suspension to monitor for advancing corrosion. The November 2024 test identified corrosion on the rear anti-roll bar and both lower coil spring mountings on the suspension arms. While these were not deemed seriously weakened at that time, rust is a progressive condition on these models and can eventually compromise structural integrity. The buyer must also verify the offside front CV boot for any signs of grease leakage or tearing, as this component failed the test in both 2021 and 2023. The history also highlights a past of neglected consumable maintenance, evidenced by the 2021 report where tyres were found at the legal limit or with uneven wear. Although the most recent MOT shows no tyre issues, the current state of the rubber and alignment should be checked to ensure no such pattern persists. One should also confirm that the registration plate has been replaced as it was noted as deteriorated in November 2022.
