Our Verdict
Exercise caution with this 2015 Ford Foc
When inspecting this vehicle, verify that the near-side passenger doors—which have sustained collision damage—operate correctly and that the structural integrity around the door frames has not been compromised. Check the steering components thoroughly, as play in the steering rack inner joints has been recorded in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests. Review the service history to confirm when major components and maintenance tasks were last performed.
Negotiate on the price to account for the necessary repairs, including the replacement of worn front brake pads, front tyres, steering rack joints, and rectification of the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light. Ensure you obtain a professional quote for the bodywork damage on the near-side passenger doors before finalising the sale.
This 1.5-litre diesel Ford Focus offers competitive fuel economy typical of small family hatchbacks on longer journeys, though frequent urban driving may increase maintenance demands on the emissions equipment. Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) will depend on its specific CO2 emissions band, and insurance falls into standard groups for mid-tier diesel hatchbacks.
Annual running costs will include fuel, insurance, road tax, and routine servicing, alongside immediate outlay for the advisory and failure items noted in the March 2026 test. Factoring in new tyres, brake pads, and steering rack repairs, initial maintenance costs are likely to be above average.
Examine the near-side passenger doors carefully to assess the extent of the collision damage noted in the test records, ensuring the doors open, close, and lock securely. Inspect the front steering and suspension setup, specifically targeting the inner steering rack joints which have shown recurring wear across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 MOT tests.
Check the condition of the front tyres and brake pads, both of which were flagged as worn or near their limits during the most recent March 2026 test. Verify that all dashboard warning lights, including the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) light, extinguish correctly upon starting the vehicle.
This blue 2015 Ford Focus diesel has recorded 95,119 miles as of its March 2026 MOT test. The MOT history reveals recurring failures for blown headlamps alongside persistent advisories including passenger door collision damage and play in the steering rack inner joints over multiple years.
The Ford Focus has an average MOT pass rate of 79.2% across over one million analysed vehicles, with tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars forming the most common failure categories.
