2016 FORD FOCUS1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable history of roadworthiness over the last three years. In the most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 110,028 miles, the Focus passed without any recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet the minimum standard. This follows a clean pass in January 2025 at 95,349 miles, which suggests the previous owner has maintained the vehicle to a functional level. The failure recorded on 23 January 2025 at 95,345 miles remains the only point of concern in recent history, though it was rectified immediately to achieve the subsequent passing result. The mileage progression is consistent with a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the May 2023 test at 79,021 miles and the January 2024 test at 80,534 miles, the car covered fewer 1,500 miles, suggesting a period of low use which can sometimes lead to seizing on components such as suspension bushes or brake calipers. However, the mileage accelerated to over 14,000 miles in the following year leading up to the January 2025 test, which has likely put standard wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. Given that the MOT record shows no recurring structural integrity issues or persistent corrosion, the buyer should focus on high-mileage wear items associated with the 110,000-mile mark. This includes the condition of the shock absorbers, the integrity of coil springs, and the thickness of the brake discs. The lack of recorded advisories in the latest entry suggests the vehicle is not currently in a state of neglect, but the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the rubber components and exhaust system to ensure no hidden degradation has developed since the last inspection.
