2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AP64 DFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in July 2025 at 72,790 miles resulted in a failure due to low nearside headlamp aim and a tyre worn to the legal limit. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the presence of these faults suggests the owner only addresses mechanical defects when necessitated by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative checks. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between November 2023 at 48,372 miles and November 2024 at 64,816 miles, the car covered 16,444 miles in a single year, which represents a significant spike in usage compared to its historical average. This period of heavy driving likely accelerated wear on consumable components, such as the tyres, evidenced by the wear-related issues flagged in the subsequent 2025 inspection. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and wheel alignment, as the 2025 failure noted edge wear on tyres which often indicates tracking or worn suspension bushes. The mention of under trays and sill covers in the most recent records suggests a potential attempt to mask structural corrosion, so a close inspection of the sills for hidden rust is essential. Given the previous stop lamp failure and headlamp misalignment, the functionality of all external lighting and bulb assemblies should be verified to ensure no further wiring issues persist.
