2015 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · BK15 BYM

This 2015 Ford Focus has passed its most recent MOT in April 2026, but the advisory list indicates a vehicle entering a phase of accelerating deterioration. The most concerning pattern is the emergence of structural and suspension corrosion. The latest test notes a corroded rear sub-frame and corrosion on both rear coil springs. Combined with previous notes of exhaust corrosion, this suggests the chassis is beginning to succumb to rust. There is also a persistent oil leak that has been flagged since 2023. While currently deemed "not excessive," its presence for three years suggests a long-term leak that has not been permanently rectified. The mileage is high for its age, averaging over 13,500 miles per year. This indicates heavy use, which explains the wear on the rear brake discs and the general degradation of consumables and suspension components. The condition trend is worsening, moving from a clean bill of health in 2024 to multiple structural and mechanical advisories in 2026. A buyer should first inspect the underside of the car, specifically the rear sub-frame and coil springs, to gauge the extent of the corrosion.
