2015 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · YF15 HGD

This 2015 Ford Focus presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 7 January 2026 at 85,906 miles passing with zero defects recorded. The vehicle has consistently passed its annual tests across the available history, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged at any point. The sole anomaly in the record is a second entry on 22 August 2024 at 79,748 miles marked as a failure, yet no defects were recorded against it, suggesting a possible administrative or procedural retest rather than a genuine mechanical failure. Overall, the pattern indicates a well-maintained vehicle with no worsening or unresolved issues. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for an eleven-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,810 miles per year. The intervals between tests show a steady progression: 54,623 miles in April 2022, 66,777 miles in April 2023, 79,748 miles in August 2024, and 85,906 miles in January 2026. The gap between the April 2023 and August 2024 tests covers approximately 13,000 miles over sixteen months, which is slightly above the annual average but not excessive. The most recent interval from August 2024 to January 2026 shows around 6,100 miles over seventeen months, indicating a modest reduction in usage. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest the car was laid up or heavily used in bursts. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The Focus platform is known to develop wear in rear suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and front lower arm bushes over time, particularly beyond 80,000 miles. Brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or lipping, as binding calipers can develop without triggering an MOT advisory if not severe enough. The exhaust system, particularly the rear silencer and mounting rubbers, merits a close look for corrosion, as does the underside around suspension mounting points and sills. Tyre condition across all four corners, including the spare if fitted, should be verified, since uneven wear can point to alignment or suspension geometry issues that have not yet reached an MOT failure threshold. The clean record is encouraging, but a test drive over varied road surfaces remains essential to confirm there are no knocks, rattles, or pulling under braking that static checks might miss.
