2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · FP65 JVE

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection without any failures. The test conducted on 12 March 2024 at 102,618 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester noted minor perishing and cracking on both front tyres. This indicates that the rubber compound is degrading due to age rather than tread wear, suggesting the car may have sat for short periods or covered low distances. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of roughly 9,000 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, and a similar jump of 10,819 miles between November 2021 and March 2023. This regularity suggests the car has been used on a predictable schedule, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and mechanical components compared to a vehicle subject to long periods of stagnation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and alignment geometry, as the history shows a recurring trend of tyres wearing unevenly or reaching legal limits prematurely. In 2019 and 2021, the tester flagged multiple tyres as worn on the edges, which often points to worn suspension bushes, faulty control arms, or incorrect tracking settings. Given the 2024 advisory regarding perished tyre rubber, a thorough check of the sidewalls is necessary to ensure the structural integrity of the tyres is not compromised by dry rot.
