2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FG15 LZD

The most recent MOT from March 2026 shows a pass, but it highlights recurring issues with tyre wear on the rear axle. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the history reveals a persistent pattern of neglecting tyre maintenance and replacement. The main risk pattern is a consistent failure to address tyre condition and tread depth. Since 2023, almost every MOT entry has flagged tyres that are either worn close to the legal limit, worn on the edges, or cracking and perishing. This suggests a tendency toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance, where components are only addressed when they reach the point of failure. The vehicle's condition trend appears stable but concerningly repetitive. While the severity of the tyre faults has fluctuated—ranging from minor cracking to a total failure in February 2024—the underlying issue of poor tyre management remains unresolved. There was also a note regarding damage to the front of the vehicle in early 2025, which warrants further scrutiny. At approximately 97,518 miles, the mileage is roughly 8,865 miles per year, which is typical for an 11-year-old car. This suggests the vehicle has seen regular, moderate use rather than excessive motorway mileage or long periods of sitting idle.
