2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WV16 ADO

The 2016 Ford Focus demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2026-03-12, which passed with no defects at 94,303 miles. The prior three tests from 2025-03-31, 2024-03-19, and 2023-03-30 also passed, with no recorded issues. While a failed test on 2024-03-18 at 85,253 miles is noted, no defects were listed, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor technicality. The absence of recurring mechanical failures in the last three years indicates consistent maintenance, though the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 94,303 miles over 10 years aligns with an average of 9,430 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. The MOT records show steady progression, with no significant gaps between tests. The 2024-03-18 failure occurred just one day before a passing test on 2024-03-19, raising questions about the accuracy of the failed result. The lack of defects in subsequent tests suggests the issue was resolved promptly, though the inconsistency should be clarified with the MOT provider. A buyer should inspect suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear given the mileage, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be verified, as these areas often degrade over time. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the 2024 failure and the vehicle’s age necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued reliability.
