2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · MF65 WDX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 80,892 miles, it failed that same inspection due to a front coolant leak, a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, a failed nearside front bulb, and a perished offside rear tyre. The presence of a coolant leak suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,350 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression of 13,172 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, and another 25,374 miles between April 2024 and April 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the car has not undergone heavy motorway use, but the age of the vehicle likely contributes to the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the recurring reports of perished tyre sidewalls despite the low overall mileage. A buyer must inspect the cooling system thoroughly to ensure the coolant leak identified in April 2026 has been fully rectified and not merely patched. The 2024 advisory and subsequent failure regarding inner-edge wear on the offside front tyre indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked for play. Furthermore, the history of thin brake pads in 2025 necessitates a physical inspection of the remaining pad life and the condition of the discs to ensure they are not scored or excessively thinned.
