2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · MV16 AEE

The Ford Focus last secured a clean MOT pass on 29 May 2025 at 66,728 miles, with the tester recording no defects or advisories; however, that certificate expired on 28 May 2026 and the vehicle now stands without valid roadworthiness certification as of 14 July 2026. Across the five tests logged between May 2023 and May 2025 the maintenance trend is stable, showing identical pass outcomes and zero mechanical faults despite two same-day fail entries that carried no recorded defects, indicating administrative anomalies rather than worsening condition. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a decade-old hatchback. The record shows 47,446 miles on 25 May 2023, rising to 55,161 by 30 May 2024 and 66,728 by 29 May 2025, equating to roughly 7,700 miles in the first interval and 11,567 in the second. That modest acceleration still sits near the 6,673 annual average implied by the total odometer, and the annual test spacing reveals no prolonged dormancy or sudden high-use spikes. Earlier pre-2023 history is absent from the supplied data, leaving the first seven years partially unverified. No recurring suspension, brake, or structural defects appear in the DVSA entries, so the previous owner appears to have maintained basic compliance. The buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive components that tests at legal limits may omit: examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, probe brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and assess structural integrity around sills and subframes for corrosion.
