2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · BU15 XNF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of proactive maintenance following minor mechanical failures. The most recent test in November 2025 at 83,427 miles passed with no defects recorded, mirroring the clean result from March 2025. This followed a brief failure in early March of that same year due to a damaged windscreen and incorrect offside headlamp aim, which were rectified within three days. The history suggests the current owner is responsive to addressing compliance issues immediately once identified by the tester. At 83,427 miles, this eleven-year-old Ford Focus has averaged approximately 7,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate patterns. The record shows consistent mileage accumulation, for example, covering roughly 14,000 miles between February 2024 and November 2025. There is a notable gap in data between February 2021 and February 2022, where the car covered only 6,422 miles, indicating the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods. This consistent usage generally reduces the risk of premature seal failure or brake corrosion associated with neglected vehicles. A buyer should inspect the exhaust system and braking components, as these have shown recurring issues. The tester previously flagged a deteriorated front exhaust flex pipe in 2022 and an insecure rear exhaust heat shield in 2023. While these appear resolved, the 2024 advisory regarding thin nearside front brake pads indicates a need to check the remaining friction life. Additionally, the history of tyres worn to legal limits in 2018 and 2023 suggests the buyer should verify the current tread depth and wear patterns to ensure alignment is not causing uneven wear.
