2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · CA15 LXS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 15 January 2026 at 64,296 miles showed no defects, indicating that previous maintenance issues have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in December 2024 at 51,138 miles, suggesting the vehicle has transitioned from a period of minor consumable wear to a period of consistent upkeep. The mileage pattern reflects low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,845 miles per year over its eleven-year lifespan. The data shows a steady progression, though there is a notable two-year gap in testing between January 2022 and December 2020, which aligns with the vehicle's low-mileage profile. The jump from 51,138 miles in late 2024 to 64,296 miles in early 2026 represents a relatively consistent driving pattern of roughly 6,500 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle used for local or occasional trips. Historical records indicate minor issues with consumables rather than systemic mechanical failure. The December 2023 test flagged thinning front brake pads and a deteriorated rear registration plate, both of which are standard wear items. An earlier advisory in December 2020 regarding a perishing nearside rear tyre wall suggests the vehicle may experience periods of inactivity, which can lead to rubber degradation. A failure in June 2018 for low tyre tread and incorrect headlamp aim further confirms that basic maintenance was occasionally deferred in the vehicle's earlier years. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls for any signs of cracking or perishing due to the low mileage and previous history of tyre degradation. While the recent MOTs are clean, the brake pads noted in 2023 should be checked to ensure they have been replaced with quality components. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should also inspect the battery health and check for any fluid leaks or seized components that can arise from long periods of standing.
