2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LP64 AAY

The 2025‑02‑05 MOT at 26,918 miles confirms the 2015 Ford Focus remains roadworthy, recording only a near‑side obligatory mirror crack and slight front brake‑pipe damage with no failures. The recent test shows a stable maintenance pattern, as recurring advisories on suspension arm pins, brake discs and mirrors have not escalated into serious defects, indicating consistent but modest upkeep. Mileage has risen steadily from 9,185 miles in the January 2018 test to 26,918 miles in February 2025, averaging roughly 2,450 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 11‑year age and suggests regular, low‑intensity use rather than abrupt high‑mileage accumulation. The intervals between tests are approximately annual, with no extended periods of inactivity evident, and the mileage increments remain within a normal range for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should therefore prioritize a close examination of the front suspension arm pins and bushes for wear or binding, verify the condition of the steering rack for free play, and inspect the front brake pipes for corrosion or leaks, as these items have appeared repeatedly in successive tests. The repeated wear of the front brake discs warrants measurement of disc thickness during a physical inspection, while the persistent near‑side mirror damage suggests a need to check for cracks or mounting integrity. Finally, although no structural integrity or corrosion advisories appear in the record, a thorough visual inspection of the chassis, wheel arches and underbody remains essential to confirm long‑term durability.
