Our Verdict
This 2015 Ford Focus is a solid option f
When inspecting this specific Focus, pay close attention to the tyre condition. The 2025 MOT recorded both nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, which could suggest alignment issues or uneven wear patterns. Ensure the new tyres fitted since then have been checked for even tread distribution.
Given the 2023 failure regarding the windscreen washer, verify that the washer fluid system, including the pump and nozzles, is fully operational. As this is a 1.5L diesel engine, you should also ask for evidence of regular oil changes to ensure the turbocharger and fuel system have been maintained, though the MOT records alone do not confirm service history.
The 1499cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering good fuel economy on longer motorway journeys. Tax and insurance groups for a 2015 Focus vary depending on the specific trim level, but it generally sits in a mid-range bracket suitable for many drivers.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically predictable, though you should budget for common items like tyres and brake components. Based on the mileage and engine type, an estimated annual running cost of £1,100-£1,400 should be considered, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Focus on the front suspension and steering components. While not explicitly failed in recent tests, the 'worn on edge' tyre advisory from 2025 is a signal to check for any knocks or pulls when driving straight.
Additionally, check the windscreen washer system to ensure the previous 2023 failure has been permanently resolved. Inspect the exterior black paintwork for any signs of fading or scratches, and check the condition of the tyres to ensure they are not approaching the legal limits as seen in the previous year's record.
This black 1.5L diesel Ford Focus (ML15ATN) has covered 83,893 miles since its first registration in March 2015. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing, with the most recent test in August 2026 recording no defects. The vehicle's mileage is higher than the model average of 6,822 per year, reflecting its use as a diesel commuter.
The Ford Focus shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.2% across the aggregate data, with tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars being common failure points.
