2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FE15 FNO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test on 17 January 2026 at 68,759 miles, it had failed earlier that same day due to multiple significant defects. The presence of thin front brake pads, pitted discs, and all four tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven wear suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,250 miles per year. Between January 2024 at 57,798 miles and January 2025 at 63,045 miles, the car covered 5,247 miles, showing low-intensity usage. However, the jump of 5,714 miles between January 2025 and January 2026 shows a slight increase in annual travel, which correlates with the rapid wear observed on consumable components noted in the latest test results. A buyer must inspect the front braking system thoroughly, as the record shows thin pads and scored discs in both 2023 and 2026. The edge wear reported on all four tyres in the January 2026 test indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require physical inspection. Additionally, verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system and the washer system are fully functional, as these were recent points of failure. Ensure the offside rear stop lamp and indicator have been replaced with correct components to meet legal standards.
