2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WO16 BFV

The vehicle shows a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 24 July 2025 at 54,251 miles passing with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in July 2024, which corrected a failure involving both nearside and offside front tyre tread depths falling below the 1.6mm legal limit. The absence of advisories in the last two years suggests the current owner is addressing consumable wear before it reaches a failure threshold. The mileage profile indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year over the ten-year lifespan of the vehicle. The data shows consistent, incremental increases in mileage at each annual test, moving from 24,481 miles in 2019 to 54,251 miles in 2025. This low-mileage pattern suggests the car has seen light use, though it may have spent periods stationary, which can sometimes impact rubber components and fluid degradation. A buyer should focus physical inspections on the rear suspension and braking system. The July 2023 test at 47,893 miles flagged light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber and corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe. While the vehicle has passed subsequent tests, these issues indicate the beginning of component aging. It is prudent to inspect the rear shock absorbers for further weeping and check the integrity of the brake lines for any signs of advancing corrosion or degradation. Tyre condition and brake wear also warrant a close look. While the 2024 failure for low tread depth was resolved, and the 2019 failure for thin brake pads was addressed, the history shows a pattern of wear on these consumable items. Checking the remaining tread depth and the thickness of the brake pads, alongside inspecting the sidewalls for the cracking or perishing noted in the 2021 record, will confirm if the current maintenance standard remains high.
