2016 FORD FOCUS2.3L Petrol

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 14 October 2025 at 49,425 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the September 2024 test at 44,965 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across its available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Recorded mileage sits at 49,425 against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,942 miles per year. This is low for the age. The gap between the May 2022 test at 33,319 miles and the October 2023 test at 40,935 miles spans seventeen months yet adds only 7,616 miles, suggesting light or intermittent use. The jump from 44,853 miles on 6 September 2024 to 44,965 on 19 September 2024 reflects a short re-test following an administrative fail with no defects logged. Sparse clean records limit deep wear analysis but imply basic upkeep was maintained. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage may mask perished rubber or corroded calipers from prolonged standing. The September 2024 failure with no defects recorded points to a documentation or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, yet the V5C and test certificate should be verified. No structural corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or drivetrain advisories appear in the official record. The clean pass history and low mileage reduce immediate risk, but pre-purchase checks on tyre sidewall cracking and underbody rust remain prudent for a vehicle of this age.
