2016 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · NC16 ACO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 56,636 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, though the latest test flagged a slightly damaged offside front seat belt buckle as an advisory. Aside from this minor interior fault, the car has a consistent record of passing tests with few major mechanical failures. The mileage is low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,664 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, moving from 22,165 miles in September 2019 to 56,636 miles by June 2026. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest heavy commercial use or long periods of stagnation. Tyre maintenance is the only recurring weakness in the history. The car failed on 19 June 2023 at 45,439 miles due to a sidewall cut and low tread on the nearside rear tyre. Similar issues appeared in September 2020 at 30,435 miles, where the tester noted perishing on the rear tyres and wear on the offside front inner edge. This same inner edge wear reappeared as an advisory in May 2024 at 49,561 miles. A buyer should check the current tyre tread and alignment, specifically looking for uneven wear on the front inner edges which may indicate a need for tracking adjustment. The seat belt buckle mentioned in the June 2026 test requires a physical check to ensure it functions correctly. No structural corrosion, brake binding, or suspension failures appear in the record, suggesting the chassis and drivetrain have been well preserved.
