Our Verdict
Recommended with caution due to recurring tyre wear issues and a recent lamp failure, but the vehicle remains a viable option for budget-conscious buyers willing to address maintenance needs.
Prioritise checking tyre condition and replacement history, as four tyres were near legal limits in 2022. Inspect the nearside rear lamp assembly for wiring issues linked to the 2025 failure. Verify service records for engine maintenance, as the 1.0L petrol engine can be prone to minor electrical faults. Negotiate based on the 2025 MOT failure and recurring tyre wear, which may indicate improper maintenance or road conditions.
The 1.0L petrol engine offers good fuel economy (approx. 45-50 mpg), placing it in a low tax band (£145/yr for 2025-26). Insurance group 15-17 is average for this era. Maintenance costs may rise due to electrical repairs, with an estimated annual running cost of £800-£1,000 including tyres, fuel, and routine servicing.
Examine all four tyres for uneven wear patterns and check for replacement records. Test the nearside rear position lamp and surrounding wiring for short circuits. Inspect the engine bay for oil leaks or corrosion, common in 2015 models. Review service history for interval compliance, as tyre wear may indicate neglected maintenance.
This 2015 Ford Focus has a mixed MOT history with multiple tyre wear issues and a lamp failure, but recent servicing shows a passed MOT at 61,223 miles. The 1.0L petrol engine is fuel-efficient but may require attention to electrical components. Mileage is below average for a 10-year-old vehicle.
No aggregate data available for FORD FOCUS, but this vehicle shows typical maintenance needs for 2015 models with no major known recalls.
