2016 Ford Focus Zetec Tdci 1.5L Diesel · YJZ 2060

This Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent MOT on 21 February 2026 at 158,777 miles was completed without any defects or advisories. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of zero recorded failures or advisories across the previous three tests, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging nearly 16,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between June 2021 and June 2023, where the odometer rose from 66,397 to 108,801 miles. A further 21,413 miles were added between June 2023 and December 2024. This high-mileage profile typically indicates heavy motorway use, which often results in less chassis stress than urban stop-start driving but accelerates wear on drivetrain components. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage necessitates a targeted physical inspection of long-term wear items. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade around the 150,000 mile mark regardless of MOT outcomes. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Attention should also be paid to the diesel particulate filter and exhaust system given the total mileage. While the tester flagged no emissions failures, a physical check for oil leaks around the engine and gearbox is advisable. The absence of structural corrosion in the records is positive, but a manual inspection of the sills and rear arches remains prudent for a vehicle of this age.
