2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · FH65 FTP

The 2015 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 81,806 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 12 December 2024 at 76,437 miles confirms no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 81,806 against an 11-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,437 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model age. The DVSA data shows steady annual accumulation: 58,130 miles in October 2022, 66,474 by October 2023, 76,437 in December 2024, and 81,806 by November 2025. A notable anomaly appears on 12 December 2024 where the vehicle first failed with no defects logged before immediately passing on the same day at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative or procedural error at the testing station rather than a genuine fault. The clean MOT sequence with zero advisories across five years implies the previous owners maintained the car to a basic standard, though the absence of flagged wear items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion does not confirm their condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes, given Ford Focus models of this generation are prone to underbody rust where moisture collects. In-person checks should cover the front coil springs for fracture, the rear brake calipers for binding, and the exhaust emissions under load, as these components commonly degrade on an 81,000-mile Focus without triggering MOT advisories. The lack of recorded faults offers reasonable assurance, but the sparse history provides no evidence of proactive component renewal beyond statutory testing.
