2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · CV65 WCF

The 2015 Ford Focus presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 11 December 2025 at 138,145 miles with zero defects recorded. This marks three consecutive passes without advisories, suggesting the previous owner has addressed earlier minor faults and maintained the vehicle to a consistent standard through late 2025. The mileage accumulation pattern reveals a notable acceleration in usage over the vehicle's life. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the car covered roughly 14,700 miles, then jumped to approximately 14,750 miles in the following year, before surging to 21,955 miles between December 2023 and December 2024. This sharp increase from 114,674 to 136,629 miles in a single year indicates the car transitioned from moderate to heavy use, likely sustained motorway or fleet-style driving. Such elevated annual mileage places accelerated stress on consumable components including brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain mounts, even if the MOT record itself remains clean. The sole advisory cluster appeared in the December 2022 test at 99,930 miles, where the tester flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit on both inner edges alongside a minor oil leak. Tyre wear on both inner edges typically points to tracking misalignment or worn suspension bushes rather than simple neglect, though the absence of subsequent tyre advisories suggests the issue was corrected. The minor oil leak noted at the same test has not recurred in the following three inspections, implying either a gasket replacement or a fluid top-up resolved it. A prospective buyer should still inspect the front suspension geometry and inner tyre sidewalls in person, checking for uneven wear patterns that could indicate lingering alignment issues. The high mileage also warrants close examination of the exhaust system for corrosion, the brake condition given the heavy recent use, and underneath the car for any signs of structural rust or fresh oil seepage around the engine and gearbox. The clean late-2025 result is encouraging, but sustained 20,000-mile years demand thorough due diligence on wear components that MOT tests may not fully capture between annual intervals.
