2015 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · YP15 BVS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in November 2025 at 64,145 miles showed a pass only after addressing failures related to the tyre pressure monitoring system and thin front brake pads. While the car passed the inspection, the recurring nature of tyre and suspension faults across multiple years suggests that the owner only rectifies issues when they reach the point of failure during the annual test. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 64,145 miles represents an average of approximately 5,800 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with less wear on engine components, but it can lead to degradation of rubber-based parts. Between December 2024 and November 2025, the vehicle covered only 4,752 miles, confirming a consistent low-mile pattern. However, the 2023 advisory regarding perishing rear tyres suggests the vehicle may have suffered from dry rot despite the low distance driven. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the record consistently flags the offside front tyre as wearing on the inner edge in both 2024 and 2025. This indicates a persistent misalignment or worn suspension arm bushes that have not been fully resolved, despite the 2025 advisory noting wear on both sides. The front brakes should also be checked for even wear, as they were noted as thin in the most recent test. Additionally, the tyre pressure monitoring system must be verified as functional to ensure the failure from November 2025 was properly rectified.
