2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · K16 TCO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean history of passing results in recent years. The most recent MOT conducted on 17 May 2025 at 67,393 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of consistent passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the owner has maintained the mechanical integrity of the Focus effectively. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per annum. Between the October 2022 test at 54,657 miles and the May 2025 test at 67,393 miles, the car covered 12,736 miles, representing a steady usage rate. The brief failure in May 2023 at 59,409 miles appears to be an isolated incident as the vehicle passed again a month later without further faults, suggesting a minor issue that was rectified quickly rather than a developing trend of mechanical failure. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer should still focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear rather than mileage-based fatigue. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, as rubber components can perish over a decade regardless of low mileage. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and the calipers, as the MOT test does not always detect minor binding unless it reaches a specific threshold. Structural inspection of the chassis remains essential to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed in the sills or wheel mounting points.
