2015 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · LH15 BEO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred reactive repairs. While the most recent test in June 2026 at 147,956 miles passed, the tester flagged a faulty offside front side repeater and uneven wear on the inner edges of both front tyres. This mirrors issues from June 2025 where the car failed due to a missing seat belt buckle and poor tyre condition. The recurrence of uneven tyre wear suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they fail inspection rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is high for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,450 miles per year. There is a significant accumulation of use, particularly the 15,104 miles recorded between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 15,481 miles in the final year leading to the latest test. This consistent high mileage puts substantial strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which aligns with the recurring mechanical wear patterns noted in the record. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the repeated reports of inner-edge tyre wear in 2025 and 2026 likely indicate worn bushes, ball joints, or incorrect camber settings. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the 2025 advisory noted the rear brake discs were thin, and given the high mileage, these should be checked for thickness and corrosion. Furthermore, the report of perishing rear tyres in 2025 suggests that rubber components may be aging regardless of tread depth.
