2015 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · PJ65 AAE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive repairs. While the car passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 90,025 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior due to insufficient brake pedal travel. The presence of thin pads, pitted discs, and a worn suspension ball joint on the passing test suggests that the owner is only addressing faults once they approach failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage recorded between October 2020 (36,144 miles) and 2021 (76,867 miles), where the car covered over 40,000 miles in a single year. Since that period, the usage has returned to a more standard rate of roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles annually, which explains the more accelerated wear on consumable components seen in the later records. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The offside front suspension arm ball joint was flagged with play in late 2025, and the buyer should verify this has been replaced to prevent steering instability. Furthermore, the history of pitted front discs and thin pads indicates the braking system is likely nearing the end of its service life. The buyer should also check the rear brakes, as these were noted as wearing thin in 2024, and ensure the uneven wear on the nearside tyre has been corrected.
