2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · JX15 DAB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last three years. Although the most recent test on 7 April 2026 at 116,643 miles initially recorded a failure, the immediate retest on the same day with no recorded defects suggests a minor issue that was rectified instantly. Prior to this, the car achieved three clean passes without advisories, indicating a lack of recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression from 76,948 miles in July 2023 to 116,643 miles in April 2026. The interval of roughly 16,000 miles between the April 2025 and April 2026 tests indicates regular use rather than the vehicle being left to sit for long periods, which often helps prevent seals from drying out or brake-related corrosion common in neglected low-mileage cars. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items associated with a high-mileage Ford Focus. The buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these are common points of failure after 100,000 miles. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear and inspecting the underside for signs of corrosion is also prudent, as the MOT does not measure the thickness of brake pads or the integrity of the fluid lines.
