2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AF16 AEO

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 August 2025 at 74,454 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. Prior to that pass the vehicle failed on the same date at identical mileage with no defects listed, a likely administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Earlier tests in August 2024 at 67,365 miles and August 2023 at 61,689 miles also passed cleanly, and a failed entry on 24 August 2023 at 61,685 miles again carried no recorded defects. The pattern shows no worsening condition or recurring advisory items across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 74,454 against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,445 miles per year and matching typical use for this model age. Annual increments are consistent: 5,676 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, then 7,089 miles to the 2025 test. No rapid accumulation or prolonged standing gaps appear in the data. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished ledger. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries on 20 August 2025 and 24 August 2023 warrant confirmation that the vehicle was correctly presented and not masking latent issues such as binding calipers or minor structural integrity concerns missed at test. Given the age, examine suspension components for perished bushes and check brake disc wear manually. Verify underbody for corrosion not yet flagged and confirm the odometer aligns with the logged 74,454 miles.
