2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FM64 AHD

The 2015 Ford Focus presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 29 August 2025 at 106,068 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards on that date. While the record shows two failed tests in 2023 and 2024, both entries explicitly list no mechanical defects, suggesting these were administrative failures or aborted tests rather than mechanical rejections. The subsequent clean passes confirm the vehicle has remained structurally and mechanically sound in recent years. The annual mileage accumulation tells a distinct story. Between the August 2023 test at 81,669 miles and the August 2024 test at 92,109 miles, the car covered roughly 10,440 miles. This increased to approximately 13,959 miles over the following year, reaching 106,068 miles by August 2025. However, the current recorded mileage remains exactly at 106,068 miles as of today, 8 July 2026. This indicates the vehicle has covered zero miles, or has not been presented for testing, for nearly eleven months. Such a prolonged standstill requires careful inspection of seized components, flat-spotted tyres, and brake corrosion. Despite the absence of recurring mechanical advisories on the record, the recent stationary period demands a thorough physical inspection. A car standing for nearly a year can develop binding brake calipers, perished rubber suspension bushes, and exhaust condensation corrosion. Check the brake discs for surface rust and verify the handbrake mechanism has not seized. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots from prolonged standing. The lack of MOT advisories suggests previous owners addressed wear items promptly, but the current lack of use introduces new risks that a standard test would not capture.
