2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · AX64 BZR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in maintenance quality. The most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 82,696 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of minor mechanical and consumable issues that have since been resolved, suggesting the vehicle has transitioned from a phase of reactive repairs to more consistent upkeep. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 79,287 miles and the January 2026 test at 82,696 miles, the car covered 3,409 miles, indicating steady, moderate usage. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-use vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension assembly. The January 2022 failure at 67,962 miles specifically identified a debonded trailing arm bush on the offside rear. While the subsequent passes indicate this was addressed, the recurring nature of tyre wear advisories—notably the offside rear tyre in February 2022 and the nearside front tyre in January 2024—suggests that wheel alignment or suspension geometry should be verified. The history also shows a distorted wheel rim on the offside front in January 2018. Although this is an older record, checking the current condition of all alloy wheels for cracks or bends is a prudent step. Beyond these specific points, the absence of structural corrosion or brake-related advisories in the recent three years of testing indicates a well-maintained mechanical state.
