2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · J50 JAC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the January 2026 test at 70,512 miles recording a clean pass and no defects. The recent result follows a pattern of resolved issues; after a single failure for an inoperative engine MIL in October 2021, all subsequent tests have passed, indicating an improving maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 29,461 miles in November 2018 to 70,512 miles in January 2026, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests light use and no evidence of abrupt mileage spikes that would accelerate wear. The record shows regular annual testing with no large gaps, reinforcing the impression of consistent ownership and reasonable utilisation. A prospective buyer should verify that the engine warning light now functions correctly, given the 2021 MIL fault, and listen for any exhaust noise that might hint at a recurring leak despite the minor exhaust issue noted in October 2022. Inspect the rear tyres for damage similar to the near‑side nail flagged in January 2024, and assess tread depth across all four wheels. Checking the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear will confirm that the low‑mileage usage has not masked any hidden deterioration. A visual survey for surface rust, especially around the exhaust mounts and wheel arches, will complete the due‑diligence before purchase.
