2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · MM15 PWL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend despite its age. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 53,588 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre showing signs of cracking. This follows a pattern of successful passes in the preceding years, specifically the clean records from late 2024 and 2023, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components have met minimum standards consistently. The mileage profile is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,872 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 39,515 miles and December 2025 at 53,588 miles, the car covered roughly 14,000 miles. This low annual usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes allow rubber-based components to degrade due to age-related oxidation rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the rubber, as the record shows a recurring issue with tyre perishing. Both the 2022 and 2025 tests flagged cracking or damage on the nearside rear tyre, which suggests the vehicle may sit for extended periods or is exposed to environmental elements. The failure in November 2023 due to a cut in the offside front tyre further highlights that physical damage to tyres is a known concern. While the MOT does not highlight suspension, braking, or structural corrosion, a manual check of brake caliper seals and chassis rust is advisable given the low-mileage, high-age nature of the Ford.
