2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · CK15 EOV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, having passed its most recent test on 20 February 2026 at 113,326 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. The same rear coil springs were flagged as corroded in both the February 2025 and February 2026 tests, while the offside front suspension arm bush has now appeared in three consecutive tests since February 2022. This indicates a clear pattern of deterioration rather than resolution, suggesting previous repairs have not addressed the root causes. The TPMS warning light illuminated during the latest test, adding another unresolved electronic fault to the record. Mileage accumulation is steady and appropriate for the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 10,300 miles per year. The car covered 6,556 miles between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests, consistent with prior intervals. No significant gaps or sudden spikes in mileage are evident across the ten-year MOT history. The odometer reading aligns closely with the vehicle's age, reflecting regular, moderate usage rather than periods of prolonged inactivity or excessive high-mileage stress. Prospective buyers should prioritise inspecting the rear suspension and brake components in person. The recurring corrosion on both rear coil springs demands close examination for structural integrity, particularly around the spring seats and mounting points where rust can propagate unseen. The persistent offside front suspension arm bush wear suggests checking for uneven tyre wear and potential geometry issues, which may also explain the badly worn inner edges noted on the front tyres in 2025. The TPMS fault requires diagnostic attention, as ignoring it could lead to undetected pressure loss. Given the pattern of advisories, a thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended before purchase.
