2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · SC15 ADZ

The vehicle presents a fundamentally sound roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 57,077 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all regulatory standards. While a failure was recorded in early December 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass nine months later suggest a minor issue that was addressed promptly, rather than a pattern of systemic mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,189 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between January 2023 at 53,381 miles and January 2024 at 55,834 miles, where the car covered only 2,453 miles in a full year. However, usage increased in late 2024, with 700 miles driven between December and December tests. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary, which can lead to specific types of wear despite low odometer readings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation during periods of inactivity. Inspect the rubber-based components, specifically the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot caused by age rather than use. Also check the brake calipers for seizing or surface corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from glazed brake discs. Given the age, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis and exhaust system for corrosion remains essential, though the MOT record does not currently flag any structural advisories.
