2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FE15 FKL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its history of consecutive passes. The most recent MOT test on 16 April 2025 at 86,856 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor, easily remediable issue was rectified immediately following the test, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since the 2022 test, the car has maintained a clean record without advisories, indicating a consistent level of basic mechanical upkeep by the previous owners. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 64,051 miles in May 2022 to 86,856 miles in April 2025. This interval of roughly 22,000 miles over three years indicates regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation. Regular usage is generally beneficial for a Ford Focus as it prevents the dry-rot issues that can lead to the degradation of rubber components like suspension bushes and seals regardless of low mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points related to this mileage bracket. While the MOT record is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and subframe mounting points. Given the lack of recorded suspension faults, the condition of the shock absorbers and the integrity of the control arms should be verified as these components often perish over time. The absence of brake advisories suggests the brake discs and pads are likely in good condition, but a manual check for binding calipers remains advisable to ensure no uneven wear has developed since the last test.
