2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FG15 LZX

The vehicle carries a robust roadworthiness rating, but the maintenance history presents a clear deterioration trend that requires immediate attention. The most recent test on 2026-03-10 was a failure at 111,890 miles, triggering a mandatory MOT failure due to structural defects in the offside front tyre. This indicates a severe, unresolved structural risk that has not been addressed since the initial registration. The subsequent tests on 2025 and 2023, while passing, confirm that the tyre condition has degraded significantly over time, suggesting that basic upkeep was likely skipped during the period between 2023 and 2026. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,172 miles annually. However, the rapid increase in recorded miles over the last two years creates a distinct gap in the maintenance log. The fact that the car passed a test at 107,302 miles in March 2025, followed by a failure at 111,890 miles in March 2026, demonstrates that the car is experiencing accelerated wear on consumables and structural components without adequate preventative measures. This pattern strongly suggests that the owner has been driving the vehicle heavily for over a year, leading to the accumulation of wear that is currently threatening the vehicle's safety. Given the recurring faults and the structural integrity risks identified, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The current failure at 111,890 miles indicates that the tyre has separated, which is a critical structural failure requiring immediate repair. The history shows that suspension and brake components have corroded but not weakened, implying that the wear is primarily on the structural elements rather than just consumables. A thorough visual inspection of the rear suspension bushings, brake discs, and exhaust emissions is essential to determine if the car meets safety standards or if it poses a risk to occupants and road safety.
