2015 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · SA15 UOS

The 2015 Ford Focus maintains a generally stable mechanical record, though its most recent MOT on 2025-10-22 at 84,659 miles reveals a worsening trend in basic consumable upkeep. The tester flagged both nearside and offside front inner tyres as worn close to the legal limit and heavily wearing on the edges. Passing with these defects indicates the tyres were borderline replacements, demanding immediate attention now given the eight-month gap since the test. A headlight adjuster was also altered to recheck lights in October 2024, suggesting a minor repair rather than a recurring electrical fault. Accumulating 84,659 miles over eleven years equates to roughly 7,700 miles annually, a typical figure reflecting regular use without excessive wear on drivetrain components. The annual intervals show consistent mileage accumulation, moving from 64,788 miles in October 2021 to 76,591 miles by October 2023. The final year saw a slightly higher accumulation of 8,068 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. No significant gaps in the testing schedule suggest the vehicle has not stood idle for extended periods. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and steering components carefully. The persistent edge wear on the front inner tyres strongly indicates misalignment or worn suspension bushes, issues that often develop on vehicles of this age and mileage. While the 2021 advisory for nearside rear tyre perishing was minor, a thorough check of all tyre sidewalls for cracking is prudent, especially given the recent heavy wear on the front axle. Examine the brake discs and pads, as consistent driving at this mileage can lead to lipping and uneven wear, though no braking defects were recorded in the history.
