2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LP64 PUX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 15 August 2025 at 70,446 miles followed an immediate failure just three miles prior. This failure revealed an inoperative engine management system light, a damaged nearside mirror cover, and an unaligned headlamp. While the vehicle passed the re-test, the presence of a malfunctioning engine light suggests a potential underlying electronic or sensor issue that was not fully addressed or cleared during the inspection. At 11 years old, the 70,446 recorded miles represent an average of approximately 6,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage. The data shows consistent annual use, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025, and approximately 8,000 miles between August 2023 and August 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, though the age of the rubber components and seals remains subject to degradation regardless of the low mechanical wear. A buyer should inspect the offside front area specifically, as the history shows recurring issues with wiper blades and headlamp alignment. The 2023 test noted both front tyres were worn to the limit on the edges, which often indicates an alignment problem or worn suspension bushes. Although the 2025 test noted a minor cut in the offside rear tyre, a physical inspection should ensure the structural integrity of the tyres remains intact. Most importantly, the engine management light must be verified with a diagnostic tool to ensure no fault codes are stored, as the previous failure indicated this system was inoperative.
