2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FF07 HMF

The 2015 Ford Focus has a mixed MOT history with recurring issues around tyres, brakes, and exhaust components. The most recent MOT on 2026-03-17 recorded several minor defects, including nearside rear tyre wear close to the legal limit, a slightly damaged tyre, a windscreen crack, brake binding, an oil leak, and an insecure exhaust heat shield. These issues were largely similar to those noted in the 2025-03-26 MOT, which also highlighted rear tyre wear and cracked tyres. The 2025-02-20 MOT, however, resulted in a failure due to critical issues like an ABS fault, non-functioning headlamps, and tyres below the 1.6mm tread limit. A pattern of tyre wear is evident, with multiple mentions of tread depth below requirements and edge wear on both front and rear tyres. Brake-related issues also recur, including fluctuating or binding service brakes, thin brake pads, and pitted discs. The exhaust heat shield being insecure appears in three MOTs, suggesting a persistent but non-critical defect. While the 2026 MOT passed, the vehicle’s history indicates that some issues, particularly tyre and brake maintenance, have not been fully resolved. The trend shows some stability in critical defects, as the 2026 MOT did not repeat the ABS fault or headlamp failures from 2025. However, recurring tyre and brake issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
