2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · SG66 ACO

The vehicle maintains an exemplary roadworthiness record, characterized by five consecutive clean passes without a single advisory notice. The most recent examination on 9 January 2026 at 88,765 miles confirms that the primary mechanical systems, including the braking, steering, and suspension components, met the required standards for safe operation. This consistent history indicates a high level of diligent maintenance and suggests that the vehicle has been operated under favourable conditions throughout the last five years. The recorded mileage of 88,765 miles over a ten-year lifespan averages approximately 8,876 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage expectations for a Ford Focus of this vintage. The steady accumulation of roughly 10,000 miles between annual tests from January 2022 through January 2026 demonstrates regular, consistent use rather than periods of prolonged inactivity. This pattern is generally preferable to low-mileage examples that may suffer from seized components or perished rubber seals due to long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common wear items that typically reach the end of their service life at this mileage, even if they have not yet triggered an MOT failure. Specifically, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often show signs of fatigue on this chassis after 80,000 miles. While the MOT records are clean, verify the thickness of the brake discs and the age of the tyres, as these consumables may be nearing their limit despite passing the visual inspection criteria. A thorough check for any signs of oil seepage around the engine block or transmission casing remains prudent to ensure that the clean test history reflects ongoing mechanical health.
