2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · S333 ADS

The most recent MOT test for this 2015 Ford Focus, conducted on 14 November 2025 at 144,753 miles, resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Despite three consecutive tests in November 2025—two failures and one pass—there is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues in the official record. The absence of advisories or defects across all tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent failures in suspension, steering, brakes, or structural integrity. However, the clustering of tests in late 2025, all within a three-day window, is unusual and warrants scrutiny of whether the vehicle was deliberately pushed through multiple tests or if there were undocumented pre-inspection repairs. The mileage progression indicates unusually high annual usage, averaging approximately 13,159 miles per year over the past decade. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the vehicle accumulated 15,931 miles, while the gap between November 2024 and November 2025 saw 17,574 miles—suggesting either heavy commercial or frequent personal use. The lack of mileage gaps exceeding a year implies consistent operation, which may accelerate wear on high-stress components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. No extended periods of inactivity are recorded, meaning potential corrosion risks from standing water or prolonged neglect are unlikely. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common failure points on this model at this mileage. The repeated November tests raise questions about brake condition—though no failures were logged, binding calipers or uneven wear could have been present during pre-test adjustments. Structural integrity should also be checked, especially around wheel arches and sills, where corrosion can compromise safety without immediate MOT failure. Tyre tread depth and condition, while not flagged, should be verified, as the absence of failures does not guarantee they have been consistently maintained. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be examined for leaks or excessive smoke, as these are often overlooked until they reach MOT failure thresholds.
