2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · CA64 OWK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in April 2025 at 109,224 miles, it had failed that same day due to multiple critical electrical and safety defects. The recurring failure of the engine management light and the tyre pressure monitoring system across two consecutive years suggests a persistent electronic fault that the previous owner likely only addressed when forced to do so by the MOT test itself. The mileage progression is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record shows a gap of 10,252 miles between May 2023 and April 2024, followed by a 12,304-mile interval between April 2024 and April 2025. This steady usage pattern indicates the car is used regularly, yet the wear patterns noted on tyres and brakes suggest that components are being pushed to their operational limits rather than being replaced between service intervals. A buyer must scrutinise inspect the braking system and suspension in person. The April 2025 test flagged thin brake pads, pitted discs, and a fluctuating nearside rear service brake, which often indicates a sticking caliper or warped rotor requiring immediate attention. Furthermore, the repeated mentions of perishing and low tread on tyres across 2023, 2024, and 2025 show that upkeep is not prioritized. A thorough check of the engine management system is also vital, as the history of an inoperative MIL light points to an underlying sensor or wiring issue that may not be fully resolved.
