2016 FORD FOCUS1.5L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 58,727 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle to meet MOT standards, as the record shows no recurring mechanical or structural failures over the last four years. The mileage profile is low for a ten-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 5,873 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between January 2023 and January 2024, where the car covered only 2,733 miles. However, usage increased significantly between the 2024 test and February 2026, with the vehicle covering 12,306 miles in just over fourteen months. This recent spike suggests a shift from light, occasional use to more frequent driving, though the overall low mileage likely results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage motorway vehicles. While the MOT record is exemplary, an in-person inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. The buyer should check for surface corrosion on brake discs and seized calipers, which can occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Additionally, the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and tyres should be verified, as these materials perish over a decade regardless of the distance driven. The lack of recorded advisories suggests the structural integrity remains sound, but a physical check of the underbody for early- remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
