2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · BN65 GFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in September 2025 at 112,683 miles passed with a minor advisory for a perished offside rear tyre. This represents an improvement over the previous year in 2024, where the car failed due to mechanical wear and tyre issues. The current trend appears stable, provided the owner addresses the emerging rubber degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old Ford Focus, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 19,543 miles between the September 2023 and September 2024 tests, which shows a period of higher usage. Conversely, the short interval between the April 2023 and September 2023 tests, only 59 miles recorded, suggests a re-test or minimal use during that window. The steady annual mileage suggests standard wear on transit-related components like the suspension and drivetrain. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the offside front arm ball joint was previously flagged as excessively worn in 2024. While this was rectified to pass the subsequent test, ball joints often suffer from uneven wear on the opposite side. The advisory for a cracked offside rear tyre in 2025 indicates the tyres are aging out rather than just wearing down, necessitating a check of all four tyres for sidewall cracking and tread margins. Focus the physical inspection on surface corrosion on the mounting points, as vehicles of this age and mileage are susceptible to structural integrity issues.
