2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · A1 KRM

The 2016 Ford Focus presents a stable and sound roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 20,571 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean annual examinations. The maintenance trend shows no degradation across the five-year MOT trail, with zero advisories or failures logged at any stage. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old vehicle. Records show 14,687 miles in October 2021, rising to 16,823 by October 2022, 18,418 by October 2023, 19,626 by October 2024, and 20,571 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 1,200 to 1,950 miles added each year, averaging near 2,000 annually. The sparse, clean history offers no evidence of neglect, though such low use often means long stationary periods that can encourage perished rubber components and surface corrosion not always visible during a brief test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the car's age and intermittent use. Standing time can cause seizing handbrake mechanisms and flat-spotted tyres despite the MOT showing no current faults. Examine underside structural integrity for rust, particularly around sills and subframes, since the tester may not have lifted the vehicle fully. Check fluid condition and coolant age before purchase, as low mileage rarely equates to fresh servicing. The DVSA record confirms strong formal compliance, but it does not substitute for a workshop assessment of consumables and latent wear.
