2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · NG15 XMF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 51,509 miles resulted in a failure due to a nearside side repeater, offside rear fog lamp, and a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the recurring nature of consumable failures suggests the owner only addresses faults when necessitated by the MOT tester. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between August 2019 (17,830 miles) and August 2020 (25,043 miles), where the car covered over 7,000 miles in a year. Since then, the accumulation has slowed considerably, with only 2,,66 miles covered in the last five years. This low-frequency use can leads to rubber degradation and component seizing if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the tyre assembly closely, as the record shows a persistent trend of tyres wearing to the legal limit across multiple axles in 2020 and 2025. The edge wear noted on the nearside front in 2025 indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The tester flagged thin front brake pads in 2023 at 41,432 miles, suggesting the braking system is nearing the end of its service life between intervals. Given the low mileage and high age, verify the condition of corrosion on brake discs and cracking in rubber suspension components, which are often overlooked on vehicles that are driven infrequently.
