2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CE65 PJV

The 2015 Ford Focus presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 27 August 2025 at 66,650 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean result followed a failure on the same day, indicating the previous owner rectified immediate safety issues promptly before the retest. The maintenance trend over the last three years is broadly improving, moving from minor advisories in 2024 to a fully defect-free status in 2025. The mileage pattern is consistent and unremarkable for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Recorded at 66,650 miles in August 2025, the car has covered roughly 6,000 miles per year, which sits squarely within typical annual usage. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings between the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests, suggesting regular and steady use rather than prolonged standing or recent high-mileage accumulation. A buyer should pay close attention to the front brake assembly and tyre condition during any physical inspection. The August 2024 failure flagged worn front brake discs and a thin offside front brake pad, while the nearside front inner tyre was worn to the legal limit on its edge. Although the 2025 pass confirms these items were addressed, uneven inner tyre wear on the nearside front warrants checking the tracking and suspension bushes, particularly the front lower arm bushes and anti-roll bar links, which are common wear points on the Mk3 Focus. The repeated tyre-related failures in August 2025, including a nail in the nearside rear and exposed ply on the offside front, suggest the car may have been driven on compromised tyres for short periods. Inspect all four tyre sidewalls carefully for age-related cracking, given the vehicle is now eleven years old. The offside rear stop lamp and rear fog lamp failures from 2024 were electrical in nature and appear resolved, but a function check of all exterior lighting remains prudent.
