2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · YF65 KLA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 17 December 2025, which remains in effect until December 2026. While the car ultimately passed its most recent inspection, the initial failure on that date indicates a lapse in basic maintenance. The presence of four distinct defects, including a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and a non-functional headlamp, suggests that the owner did not perform pre-test checks. This trend of failing or receiving advisories for simple, preventable items points to a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle care. The recorded mileage of 103,974 miles over an eleven-year lifespan averages to approximately 9,450 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical UK usage patterns. The accumulation of mileage has remained steady, with roughly 14,000 miles added between December 2024 and December 2025, and a similar increase in the preceding twelve-month period. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has remained in regular service rather than sitting idle for extended durations, which generally mitigates the risk of seized components or degraded seals often associated with long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the electrical systems. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyres being flagged for uneven wear or reaching the legal limit, which implies the vehicle may suffer from poor wheel alignment or neglected suspension geometry. You should check the inner and outer tread depths of all four tyres to confirm if this uneven wear persists. Additionally, verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system functions correctly, as this was a specific failure point in the most recent test. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advisable to ensure that the reported tyre wear is not masking deeper mechanical fatigue.
