2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AF16 DKA

The 2016 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 31,413 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 29 January 2025 at 27,997 miles confirms no outstanding advisories across the last two examinations. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults and no recurring advisory pattern in the supplied record. Recorded mileage stands at 31,413 miles against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,141 miles per year. The DVSA data shows 23,619 miles on 22 February 2024, rising to 27,997 miles by January 2025 and 31,413 miles by February 2026. Annual accumulation sits near 4,000 miles, consistent with light use. Two failed tests on 22 February 2024 and 29 January 2025 carry identical mileages to the same-day passes and list no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion across all entries suggests the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance, though long idle periods implied by low mileage can mask perished rubber components and binding calipers not surfaced in a static test. A buyer should physically inspect subframe integrity, tyre sidewall condition, and underbody for structural rust given the car's age. Verify the duplicate fail-and-pass entries with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect data. Commission an independent inspection of drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions before purchase, as the clean record offers no evidence of neglect but equally no depth on consumable wear history.
