2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AP15 MXB

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition but the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward developing mechanical wear. The most recent test in November 2025 at 87,844 miles identified a minor oil leak on the offside front shock absorber and a small exhaust gas leak. While these did not cause a failure, they indicate that components are beginning to reach the end of their service life after a period of clean records in previous years. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression, moving from 49,967 miles in October 2021 to 87,844 miles by late 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has been subjected to consistent road miles rather than suffering from long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though it explains the natural degradation of rubber and metal parts seen in the latest entries. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front suspension to determine if the misting has progressed to a significant leak that requires immediate replacement. The exhaust leak noted in the 2025 test also warrants a close look to ensure it is merely a minor gasket issue and not a developing structural fracture. Additionally, the recurring history of windscreen damage across 2021, 2022, and 2024 suggests the glass should be checked for new chips or cracks that could migrate into the driver's field of vision before the next inspection.
