2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · DK15 GOP

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent inspection on 31 October 2025 at 92,791 miles. This result follows a period of reactive maintenance where the owner successfully addressed mechanical or safety issues identified in previous testing cycles. While the history shows a pattern of failures, the subsequent passes without any recorded advisories suggest the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets minimum safety requirements. The mileage progression is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. Between the October 2023 test at 80,273 miles and the October 2024 test at 89,963 miles, the car covered 9,690 miles, indicating a normal level of usage. The most recent interval of 2,828 miles between October 2024 and October 2025 shows lower usage, which typically reduces the wear on rubber components and suspension bushings despite the overall age. A buyer should pay attention to the failures recorded in 2023 and 2024, although the specific defect codes are not detailed in this summary. The recurring nature of immediate failures followed by clean passes suggests that components such as brake hardware, lighting, or exhaust elements are replaced only when necessary. Given the age of the Focus, a physical inspection should focus on checking for structural corrosion on the subframe and rear mounting points, as these are common areas of failure on this model that may not always trigger an immediate MOT advisory until they become critical.
