2015 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · YR15 ACY

The 2015 Ford Focus with 133,760 miles is currently roadworthy following its 2025-10-31 MOT at 133,760 miles, though a prior failure on 2025-10-29 at 133,705 miles—without recorded defects—suggests potential technical inconsistencies. No structural, braking, or emissions issues were flagged in the most recent test, indicating stable maintenance. However, the proximity of the failure and subsequent pass raises questions about the reliability of the testing process or minor unresolved faults. The vehicle’s mileage of 133,760 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 12,160 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 1,738-mile increase between 2022-11-22 (125,250 miles) and 2023-11-01 (126,988 miles), followed by a 1,659-mile rise to 128,647 miles by 2024-11-01. The final 5,113 miles to 133,760 were added within 13 months, accelerating wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. This pattern suggests frequent use, which may have exacerbated wear on consumables and mechanical parts. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension for worn coil springs or bushings, as high mileage often accelerates these issues. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the car was driven in harsh conditions. Structural integrity, including underbody rust or panel corrosion, is critical given the age and mileage, though no such defects were recorded in MOTs. A pre-purchase inspection should also verify the exhaust system’s condition, as emissions compliance can degrade with age and high usage.
