2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WO16 BBF

The 2026‑07‑25 MOT at 146,001 miles passed, yet recorded slight play in the near and offside front drag‑link ball joints and corrosion of the rear suspension arms and axle, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy but with noted mechanical wear. The maintenance history shows a stable pattern with no major failures, though recurring suspension corrosion suggests ongoing exposure to the elements rather than a sudden decline. The mileage trajectory reflects high annual usage: the odometer rose from 47,702 miles in July 2019 to 146,001 miles in July 2026, averaging about 14,600 miles per year, and the jump from 124,012 miles in July 2024 to 137,234 miles in July 2025 occurred over an 11‑month span, confirming steady driving rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the front and rear suspension components for corrosion and worn bushings, verify the slight play in the drag‑link ball joints, assess the structural integrity of the rear suspension arms and axle, test the parking brake for binding or inoperative operation, and examine tyre tread depth and inflation, especially on the near side rear where under‑inflation was noted in 2023.
