2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · CA15 AEF

The vehicle maintains a clean record of roadworthiness, with the most recent test conducted on 8 July 2025 at 172,783 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This outcome continues a trend of consistent compliance observed since the 2022 failure, suggesting that the current owner has maintained the vehicle to a high standard. Given that the MOT is now overdue by five days as of 13 July 2026, the car requires an immediate test to confirm its current condition before it can be legally driven on public roads. The recorded mileage of 172,783 miles over an eleven-year lifespan indicates intensive use, averaging approximately 15,708 miles per annum. The data shows a significant spike in usage between June 2023 and July 2024, where the vehicle covered 31,807 miles in just over twelve months. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, such high annual mileage necessitates a thorough inspection of high-wear drivetrain components, including the clutch, dual-mass flywheel, and turbocharger, which often reach their service limits at this stage of a vehicle's life. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as the MOT test does not always capture the gradual degradation of bushes, ball joints, and shock absorbers. Even with a clean pass, the high mileage suggests that these components may be nearing the end of their functional life. Check for uneven tyre wear or knocking sounds during a test drive, as these symptoms often precede formal test failures. Inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion or recent repairs, ensuring that the lack of advisories in the history reflects genuine mechanical health rather than superficial maintenance.
