2015 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · LS15 FWH

The 2026‑03‑18 MOT outcome is a fail, so the 2015 Ford Focus is presently not roadworthy. The previous MOT in July 2024 at 100,573 miles recorded no defects, but the subsequent test at 134,561 miles introduced tyre wear on all four wheels and a TPMS malfunction, marking a clear worsening of condition after a period of relative stability. Mileage accumulation has been rapid for a vehicle of this age. From the May 2023 test at 79,635 miles to the July 2024 test at 100,573 miles the odometer rose by 20,938 miles in just over a year, and from July 2024 to March 2026 the reading increased another 33,988 miles, yielding an average annual mileage of roughly 17,000 miles, well above the 12,233 miles per year calculated from the total 134,561 miles over 11 years. Recurring faults point to neglected suspension and braking components. All four tyres show wear close to the legal limit, the TPMS has failed twice, the front and rear drive‑shaft CV boots are severely deteriorated, and the brake discs display pitting and scoring, while the steering rack inner joints exhibit play. Headlamp aim errors and fluctuating service brakes also appear in earlier records, indicating a pattern of deferred maintenance on critical safety systems. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, test the steering rack for excessive play, examine the CV boots for cracks, verify the integrity of the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, check tyre tread depth and pressure, confirm TPMS functionality, assess headlamp alignment and beam pattern, and look for any structural rust on the under‑body panels.
