2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LM15 UKD

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-10 recorded several minor defects, including a defective offside front side repeater lens, deteriorated front and rear registration plates, and wear in the front suspension arm pin or bush. The rear anti-roll bar linkage showed corrosion but no serious structural weakness. These issues are primarily cosmetic or minor functional concerns, with no critical safety risks identified. The vehicle’s 79,742-mile reading aligns with its 11-year age, averaging roughly 7,249 miles annually—a typical figure for this model and age. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear near legal limits in 2025 and suspension component wear in 2026. The 2025 MOT noted near-limit tyre wear on both front tyres, which could indicate uneven tread distribution or prolonged use. The 2026 suspension arm bush wear and anti-roll bar corrosion suggest gradual degradation of structural components, though no immediate safety hazards were flagged. No major defects were recorded in MOTs from 2024 to 2022, indicating a generally stable condition prior to 2025. The trend shows a shift from clean MOTs to minor defects in the past two years, but no evidence of accelerating deterioration. The suspension and tyre issues may reflect normal aging rather than severe misuse, though the corrosion on the anti-roll bar could hint at exposure to harsh environments.
