2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FD64 FYY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The final record from March 2022 at 114,860 miles resulted in advisories for thin front brake pads and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This indicates that while the vehicle passed, the owner was neglecting basic consumable replacements until they approached failure. Given that no MOT is recorded for over four years since that entry, the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unknown and requires an immediate safety inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 90,068 miles in January 2019 to 114,860 miles in March 2022. There is a significant gap in the record following the last test, and between the 2021 and 2022 tests, the car covered over 6,000 miles. This lack of recent testing puts the buyer risk, as components like rubber bushings and brake fluid degrade over time regardless of mileage driven. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2022 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the nearside front suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that have not been addressed. You should also check for corrosion on the rear brake lines and exhaust system, as these are common failure points for this generation of Focus. Because the last test noted thin pads, the current state of the discs and remaining pads is likely at the end of their functional life, necessitating immediate replacement to ensure safe stopping distances.
