2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WV65 KNN

The 2015 Ford Focus presents a clean bill of health as of its most recent MOT on 23 April 2026 at 89,910 miles, recording zero defects. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. A buyer reviewing the 2023 and 2024 tests would have noted advisories for worn brake pads, worn tyres, and a minor oil leak. All those issues appear to have been addressed, with the 2025 and 2026 tests passing cleanly. This suggests the last owner invested in basic upkeep rather than letting faults accumulate. The mileage pattern tells an unusual story. The car covered roughly 28,700 miles between February 2022 and February 2024, averaging over 14,000 miles per year. Then it slowed dramatically, adding just 426 miles between March 2025 and April 2026. The 2024 test at 70,776 miles sits almost exactly between the 2023 and 2025 readings, confirming the high-mileage phase was genuine and not a clocking anomaly. The sharp drop-off after 2025 likely means the car has been used sparingly or stood for long periods recently, which can introduce its own risks such as flat-spotted tyres, brake surface corrosion, and stale fuel. The recurring advisories across earlier tests point to specific wear patterns worth inspecting in person. The offside front tyre was flagged for edge wear in both 2023 and 2024, and the nearside front was flagged in 2022. Uneven tyre wear on the front axle often hints at worn suspension bushes, a tired coil spring, or misaligned tracking. A buyer should physically check the inner edges of all four tyres and have the front suspension and steering components inspected for play. The 2024 advisory for thin front brake pads also warrants a look at the condition of the front brake discs and calipers, particularly if the car has been sitting unused for extended periods. The minor oil leak noted in 2023 did not reappear in subsequent tests, but it would still be wise to inspect the engine underside and gearbox area for fresh wetness. The cracked front registration plate and chipped windscreen noted in 2023 also appear to have been resolved, given the clean 2025 and 2026 results. Overall, the MOT record shows a car that had a few developing issues in its mid-life phase but has since been brought back to a defect-free standard. A pre-purchase inspection focusing on suspension components, tyre condition, and brake health remains advisable given the mileage history and the long period of low recent use.
