AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 April 2026 at 107,860 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a single failure on 25 March 2024 at 94,137 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a component fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical yearly average of roughly 10,800 miles for a ten-year-old car. The odometer moved from 80,999 miles at the 23 March 2023 test to 94,139 miles by 8 April 2024, then rose only 2,443 miles to 96,582 miles by 7 April 2025, before jumping 11,278 miles to the current 107,860 by April 2026. That pattern suggests a period of low use in 2024 to 2025 followed by heavier recent driving, though the sparse five-entry history limits deeper wear analysis. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the 11,000-mile surge in the last year. The clean MOT sheet means no corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity issues were flagged by testers, so no recurring mechanical fault trend exists to investigate. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a basic pass standard with no advisories logged across four passes. The unexplained March 2024 failure warrants a check of the original test refusal reason, but the overall record implies consistent if unremarkable upkeep.
