2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · FG65 RAX

The 2015 Ford Focus presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 14 February 2025 at 168,371 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle has a history of passing its MOT, though it failed the test on 7 February 2025 at 168,080 miles and again on 22 January 2024 at 155,387 miles. Crucially, both failures list no recorded defects, indicating the issues were either minor, rectified immediately, or administrative in nature, rather than reflecting a worsening mechanical condition. The subsequent passes within days of these failures confirm the car remains fundamentally roadworthy. The recorded mileage aligns with a high-usage pattern typical of an 11-year-old vehicle averaging roughly 15,306 miles annually. Between the November 2022 pass at 142,261 miles and the January 2024 failure at 155,387 miles, the car covered 13,126 miles over a fourteen-month period. The following year saw a similar accumulation, traveling 12,645 miles between February 2024 and February 2025. The minimal mileage increase of just 291 miles between the February 2025 failure and the subsequent pass a week later suggests the vehicle was driven directly to a testing station for re-inspection after the initial failure. Despite the absence of recorded defects or advisories, the 168,371-mile reading demands a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A prospective buyer should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, alongside checking the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration common at this mileage. Structural integrity also warrants attention; inspect the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points for corrosion, a frequent issue on older Fords. The repeated failures without recorded defects might imply a lack of pre-test preparation by the owner, meaning a careful assessment of consumables like tyre tread depth and wiper blades remains prudent.
