2015 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · V11 SAO

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 110,231 miles with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent report suggests immediate issues have been addressed, the preceding three years show a persistent pattern of wear and tear across the suspension and braking systems, indicating that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults once they were flagged by the MOT tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between the October 2021 failure and the October 2024 test, the car maintained a stable mileage with a steady accumulation of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles per annual interval. This regularity suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which accounts for the gradual degradation of rubber-based components and brake friction materials seen throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a close-range physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking assembly. The record shows recurring corrosion on both rear coil springs in both 2023 and 2024, alongside a fractured anti-roll bar linkage noted in 2021. Given the frequent advisories for thin brake pads across almost every test since 2020, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and check the rear discs for uneven wear. The distorted offside rear road wheel noted in 2024 also warrants a check for structural cracks or significant bends that could affect handling at higher speeds.
