2017 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · LR67 PVZ

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-29 recorded two tyre-related issues: nearside and offside rear tyres with slight damage/cracking or perishing. These defects were classified under 5.2.3 (d) (ii), indicating minor but visible degradation. The vehicle had 76,702 miles at this test, which aligns with its age of about nine years. No other defects were noted in this test, and previous MOTs from 2024 and 2023 showed no issues. A recurring pattern of tyre damage emerges from the history. Starting in 2021, the offside rear tyre had a shallow cut (5.2.3 (d) (i)) that did not penetrate to the ply or cords. By 2022, the same tyre showed similar damage, and by 2025, both rear tyres exhibited cracking or perishing. This suggests a progressive deterioration in tyre condition, likely due to age, wear, or environmental factors. The trend indicates worsening tyre integrity over time, though no critical safety risks were recorded in the latest test. The vehicle’s mileage of 76,702 miles over nine years equates to roughly 8,522 miles per year, which is typical for its age.
