2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · MW15 NFF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean MOT pass in January 2026 at 69,726 miles. This result indicates that the previous defects identified in early 2025 have been rectified. While earlier records show a history of minor electrical and lighting failures, the lack of any defects in the most recent inspection suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing required maintenance items to keep the car up to test standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year over its eleven-year life. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 9,557 miles, whereas it covered only 964 miles in the twelve months leading up to the 2026 test. This significant drop in annual mileage suggests the vehicle likely sat stationary for periods, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or seized calipers, despite the overall low mechanical wear typically seen on high-mileage engines. A physical inspection should focus on the areas where faults previously emerged to ensure quality repairs. The 2025 failure noted a defective offside rear tyre worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A buyer should check the current tyres for even wear across the tread. Additionally, the previous failure of the windscreen washer in 2024 warrants a check to ensure the pump and lines are free of leaks or blockage. Given the age and low mileage, inspect the underbody closely for surface corrosion on the arches and sills, as moisture can affect vehicles that remain parked for long periods.
