2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · PX15 MFZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 17 February 2026 at 78,456 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of failing exactly one day before the scheduled test in both 2025 and 2026. This suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when strictly necessary to pass the legal inspection, rather than performing preventative maintenance between annual tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,132 miles per year over eleven years. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 6,754 miles, while it clocked another 6,292 miles in the year leading up to the February 2026 test. This steady, low-intensity usage pattern indicates regular driving cycles which generally prevents the accelerated degradation of the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage city fleet vehicles. While the latest report shows no active defects, the recurring one-day failures warrant a thorough physical inspection of components likely to trigger an MOT fail. A buyer should check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre mounts for wear, as these are common points of failure on the Focus platform. Given the history, inspecting the brake system for binding calipers and checking the thickness of the discs is essential to ensure the vehicle is not merely operating at the limit of legal safety standards.
