2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FG15 MVR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in June 2025 at 84,601 miles resulted in a failure due to multiple avoidable faults including a blown stop lamp, low tyre, and perished tyres. While the vehicle passed the re-test, the presence of low engine oil levels and a TPMS warning light suggests the owner may only be addressing issues when they become legally necessary to pass an inspection, rather than performing routine mechanical checks. At 84,601 miles over 11 years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family hatchback. The mileage progression is relatively consistent, with roughly 12,000 miles driven between July 2024 and June 2025, and another 12,000 miles between July 2023 and July 2024. This steady usage suggests the car is used regularly, though the age of the vehicle means rubber components and seals are susceptible to degradation regardless of the relatively low mileage. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking, as the history highlights recurring issues. The 2023 test flagged pitted front brake discs and thin inner pads, while the 2025 test noted corrosion on the rear anti-roll bar. Although the corrosion was not yet a failure, anti-roll bars on this model are prone to structural rust that requires monitoring. Furthermore, the repeated mentions of cracked and perished tyres in both 2024 and 2025 indicate that the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life, necessitating immediate replacement to ensure adequate grip and safety.
