2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · DF64 WKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following a period of intermittent mechanical failures. The most recent test in February 2026 at 156,931 miles recorded no defects, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This follows two clean passes in 2024 and 2025, indicating that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that satisfies annual testing requirements. The mileage profile reflects high usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year. The data shows a consistent and heavy workload, particularly the significant jump of 32,292 miles between January 2019 and January 2020. This high annual mileage places accelerated stress on the drivetrain and heavy suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples. While the accumulation is regular, the total distance suggests the car is nearing the end of the typical service life for many heavy-duty wear and tear items. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system, as the vehicle failed for excessive exhaust emissions in both 2022 and 2024. While it has passed since, these recurring failures indicate a potential weakness in the fuel mixture management or oxygen sensors. The history also highlights recurring suspension wear, specifically the 2021 failure flagging rear axle swivel pins and bushes. Given the high mileage, an inspector must check for play in the suspension and knocking noises that indicate these bushes require imminent replacement. Brake components also show a history of reactive maintenance, with records of thin pads and pitted discs appearing in 2020 and 2021. The frequent mentions of tyres worn to the legal limit in 2018 and 2023 suggest inconsistent alignment issues or delayed consumable replacement. A thorough check of the current tyre tread wear patterns and brake surface condition is essential to ensure that the high-mileage usage has not resulted in structural degradation of the braking assemblies or steering geometry.
