2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · BC15 FRR

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-07 showed the vehicle passed with two minor issues: offside front and nearside rear road wheels slightly distorted. These defects were first recorded in 2024 and reappeared in 2026, indicating a recurring problem with wheel alignment or structural integrity. The 2024 MOT included a failure for service brake efficiency below requirements, which was likely addressed before the 2026 pass. However, the persistence of wheel distortions suggests ongoing mechanical stress or potential damage from road conditions. The 2024 MOT also noted front tyres worn close to legal limits, nearside rear wheel distortions, and suspension arm corrosion. These issues align with the 2026 findings, showing no significant improvement. While the 2025 MOT had a minor tyre crack, the 2023 MOT was entirely clean, suggesting the current defects emerged around 2024. The pattern points to gradual wear rather than sudden deterioration, but repeated wheel and tyre issues may signal underlying problems with suspension or alignment. Mileage of 80,162 miles for an 11-year-old vehicle is average, implying moderate use without extreme heavy wear. However, the absence of significant mileage spikes or drops means the vehicle’s condition trends are harder to gauge from distance.
