2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FM64 AEN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean mechanical record following a minor repair cycle. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 March 2023 at 87,155 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This indicates that the issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified and that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of compliance since the last test. The mechanical trend shows no signs of recurring degradation or structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between the April 2022 test and the March 2023 test, the car covered 9,724 miles, showing a slight increase in activity during that interval. This data suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which helps keep rubber components and seals supple. However, the lack of an MOT record since March 2023 means the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual test by over three years, necessitating an immediate inspection to ensure no new safety faults have developed. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and underbody, as the failure in April 2022 at 77,431 miles suggests a specific defect required attention at once. While the subsequent pass was clean, the age of the Ford Focus makes checking for perished control arm bushes and corrosion on the exhaust system vital. Given the significant gap in recent testing history, also verify the tyre tread depth and brake pad thickness, as these consumables have not been professionally monitored for a considerable period.
