Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Focus on verifying the service history for the 999cc engine, as these units require strict adherence to maintenance schedules. Ensure that the ABS fault recorded in October 2025 was rectified with a permanent repair rather than a temporary fix, and confirm that the front tyres mentioned in the 2024 MOT have been replaced.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency and typically falls into a lower tax bracket. Insurance groups for the Focus are generally moderate, and the vehicle benefits from a wide availability of affordable parts across the UK.
Inspect the braking system and check for any remaining ABS warning lights, following the failure recorded in late 2025. Examine the current state of the front tyres to ensure the 2024 advisories for cracking and perishing were resolved. Additionally, check the anti-roll bar and headlamps, as these are identified as common failure points for this model in aggregate MOT data.
This blue 2015 Ford Focus has recorded 44,824 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. Its MOT history shows consistent passes since 2022, with only one recent failure related to an ABS warning lamp and previous advisories regarding the condition of the front tyres.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 79.2%, with tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars being the most frequent causes of failure.
