FORD FOCUS2016 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 March 2026 at 133,382 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded in March 2025, the immediate retest on the same day suggests the owner addressed the identified fault promptly to return the vehicle to the road legally. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,300 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between the 2023 test at 93,887 miles and the 2026 test at 133,382 miles, the vehicle covered 39,495 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent internal components from stagnating. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three passes suggests that mechanical issues have been rectified before escalating. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the distance covered, a close look at the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints is necessary to check for premature play or perished rubber. The braking system should also be evaluated for thinning discs or binding calipers, as high annual mileage puts significant stress on these components. While the MOT history is clean, checking the underbody for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust remains a standard precaution for a Ford of this age.
