Our Verdict
A sensible option for high-mileage drivers, provided the price reflects its significant usage. The recent MOT history is clean, which is a positive indicator for immediate roadworthiness.
Given the high mileage of nearly 160,000 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history, specifically regarding timing belt (cambelt) changes and fuel injector maintenance, which are critical for this 1.6L diesel engine. Negotiate based on the high mileage, as the vehicle has been driven significantly more than the average Focus of this age.
Check for any signs of turbocharger wear or excessive diesel soot in the exhaust, as these are common considerations for high-mileage diesel engines. Ensure the clutch and flywheel have been inspected, as these components often require attention around this mileage threshold.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Focus is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, likely offering competitive fuel economy. However, buyers should check the specific Euro emissions standard to understand potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges in urban areas.
Insurance groups for the 2015 Focus vary, but the 1.6L diesel typically sits in a mid-range bracket. Expect maintenance costs to be moderate, though at this mileage, you should budget for more frequent replacement of wear-and-tear items like suspension components and brakes.
The MOT history shows a failure in July 2023 at 141,651 miles, though no specific defect was listed in the summary; you should ask the seller for the specific reason for that failure. Since the aggregate data for this model highlights headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms as common failure points, pay close attention to these areas during a physical inspection.
Check the condition of the suspension bushings and shock absorbers, as the high mileage increases the likelihood of wear. Additionally, inspect the tyre tread and sidewalls, and ensure all lighting units are functioning correctly to align with common model weaknesses identified in the wider data set.
This 2015 white Ford Focus 1.6L diesel has covered 159,629 miles as of its last MOT in July 2025. While the mileage is substantially higher than the model average of 6,861 per year, the vehicle has passed its last three annual tests without recorded defects. This suggests a period of consistent compliance following a minor failure in mid-2023.
Aggregate data for the Ford Focus shows a 78.1% MOT pass rate, with common issues typically relating to lighting, tyres, and suspension.
