2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Petrol · GE02 BBB

The vehicle presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 24 March 2026 at 107,182 miles showing a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears consistent and positive, as the vehicle has successfully passed every annual inspection since at least March 2022 without any recorded failures or advisories. This lack of recurring issues suggests a well-maintained vehicle that has not suffered from chronic structural or mechanical failures during its testing history. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical ten-year usage pattern for a Ford Focus. The vehicle has covered approximately 10,718 miles per year on average. Looking at the progression from 76,654 miles in March 2022 to 107,182 miles in March 2026, the usage remains steady without signs of sudden, excessive mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity. This steady usage pattern generally implies more predictable wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to vehicles subjected to extreme high-mileage cycles. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the current mileage of 107,182 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear items that MOT testers do not always flag unless they reach a critical failure point. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the suspension system, specifically the coil springs and control arm bushings, which often show wear around the 100,000-mile mark. Additionally, checking for underside corrosion on the exhaust system and fuel lines is prudent, as these are common areas for age-related degradation that may not yet have triggered an MOT advisory. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs or pads in the recent history is encouraging. However, given the vehicle has crossed the 100,000-mile threshold, a manual check of the brake calipers for binding and an inspection of the tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity is recommended. The vehicle appears to be in a good state of compliance based on the data, but a physical assessment of the cambelt and water pump service history is essential, as these are time-sensitive components that the MOT record does not track.
