2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · PF64 KDV

A pattern of recurring tyre-related advisories characterizes the recent inspection history of this Ford Focus, though the most recent test on 13 January 2026 shows a return to a clean pass with no recorded defects. Between 2023 and 2024, the vehicle consistently flagged issues regarding tyre tread depth and edge wear across both nearside and offside axles, alongside an advisory for perishing or cracking on the offside rear tyre. While these issues appear to have been addressed prior to the 2026 inspection, the history indicates a period where consumable tyre components were approaching legal limits. The vehicle has covered 57,891 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 5,263 miles. This usage profile is significantly lower than the UK average, suggesting the vehicle has been subject to infrequent road use. Mechanically, such low annual mileage can sometimes result in less frequent engagement of various components compared to high-mileage vehicles, but it also means there is less cumulative wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems relative to the vehicle's age. Given the specific advisories recorded in 2023 and 2024, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the current condition of all four tyres. Although the 2026 MOT was clear, you should inspect the sidewalls for any signs of cracking or perishing, which can occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. During a test drive, check for any uneven tyre wear or vibrations through the steering wheel, as the previous advisories for edge wear could indicate underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. Beyond the tyres, the overall lack of recorded failures or structural advisories regarding corrosion or suspension bushes suggests that the primary maintenance requirements have been focused on consumables. You should listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces and check that the steering remains straight when the vehicle is moving on a level road. This will help confirm that the previous issues with tyre wear were simply a matter of tread depletion rather than a symptom of misaligned steering components.
