2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · J22 MDJ

The 2015 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 93,495 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date showing no defects logged, which points to an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in June 2024 at 85,456 miles, June 2023 at 78,436 miles, and June 2022 at 72,001 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. The odometer shows roughly 8,500 miles added per year against an eleven-year life, a typical accumulation for this model. From the June 2022 test at 72,001 miles to June 2025 at 93,495 miles the car covered 21,494 miles, an even spread of about 7,000 miles annually across the three intervals. The DVSA record carries no gaps, rapid jumps, or dormant periods, and the absence of any advisory across five consecutive tests suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within tolerance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and mileage. The clean MOT history offers no flag for corrosion or exhaust emissions issues, yet test centres vary in advisory strictness and the Focus is known for rear axle and subframe rust by this age. Verify the 20 June 2025 failure reason on the DVLA portal, as the zero-defect entry may mask a documentation or lighting-check anomaly rather than a true fault. Pre-purchase checks should include tyre tread depth across all four corners and a road test to detect any binding calipers or drivetrain vibration. The recorded care pattern implies disciplined servicing, but the same-day fail and pass warrants confirmation that no suppressed defect escaped the second attempt.
