2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · AG58 SAM

The 2016 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no active defects recorded. The most recent test on 14 May 2024 at 83,159 miles returned a pass with no advisories, though the same date also logged a failed attempt with no defects cited, indicating an administrative or process rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in May 2023 at 79,038 miles and April 2022 at 64,850 miles also passed clean, showing the vehicle has avoided recurring MOT failures across its later life. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,300 miles, typical for a ten-year-old car. The gap between the April 2022 test at 64,850 miles and the May 2023 test at 79,038 miles shows 14,188 miles added in thirteen months, a slightly elevated but unremarkable rate. From May 2023 to May 2024 the odometer moved only 4,121 miles, suggesting lighter use in the final recorded year. The clean sheet across all entries means no consumable neglect or structural corrosion was flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the low 2024 mileage that can mask perished rubbers or binding calipers from standing. The absence of advisories does not confirm absence of wear, only that thresholds were not breached on test day. Verify the May 2024 failure reason with DVSA to rule out a logged but uncoded issue before purchase.
