2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FM64 ARU

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving trend in maintenance diligence. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 93,659 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the owner addressed previous minor failures. This follows a clean pass in November 2024, suggesting that the mechanical and safety issues previously identified were rectified and subsequently maintained. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 4,035 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 3,689 miles leading up to the 2025 test. This regularity suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally benefits components like seals, bushings, and battery health by preventing seizing. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and alignment given the recurring wear issues noted in 2023. The tester flagged a failure for a nearside rear tyre being worn on the edge, which often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes and dampers. While these issues appear resolved in the latest records, a physical inspection of the current tyres for uneven wear is necessary to ensure the tracking fault has not returned. The tyre pressure monitoring system and windscreen washer should also be verified in person following the 2024 failure. Although the car passed since, the TPMS failure suggests a sensor or wiring issue that previously required attention. Given the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, an inspection should also check for corrosion on the chassis and evaluate the brake components, as these are common areas of concern for this model at this age and mileage.
