2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AA04 AND

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent passing record over the last six years. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 115,386 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged front brake pads as wearing thin. This indicates a standard level of consumable wear rather than a systemic mechanical failure, as the previous five tests between 2019 and 2024 showed no defects whatsoever. The mileage pattern is typical for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per annum. There is a noticeable increase in usage between December 2023 at 82,989 miles and December 2024 at 100,241 miles, where the car covered 17,252 miles in a single year. Prior to this period, the accumulation was more conservative, often hovering between 9,000 and 10,000 miles annually. This recent higher usage often accelerates the wear on the suspension and drivetrain components. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically the thin front pads noted in the 2025 entry. Given the increased mileage in the last year, it is also necessary to check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber. While the history shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical issues, the high-mileage threshold demands a close look at fluid leaks and the exhaust integrity to ensure the vehicle has been maintained according to its recent usage levels.
