2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · AY65 CYG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, demonstrating a consistent history of passing following an initial failure. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 204,990 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This clean record across the last three annual tests suggests that the owner has proactively addressed any mechanical issues or maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents recurring failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 18,600 miles per year. Between June 2022 and September 2025, the car covered 36,949 miles, showing a consistent and heavy usage pattern typical of motorway commuting or fleet work. While this rapid accumulation puts significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension, the lack of advisories in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests indicates that these components have not yet reached a point of visible failure despite the high odometer reading. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage fatigue. Given the 204,000-mile mark, a close examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints is essential, as these often wear out under heavy use. The braking system should also be checked for signs of worn calipers or thinning brake discs, although the MOT record shows no recent issues. Finally, while the history is clean, checking for structural integrity and corrosion on the sills and subframe remains vital to ensure the high mileage has not compromised the frame of the vehicle.
