2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · BJ16 HSU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in basic consumable upkeep. The most recent test conducted in January 2025 at 105,212 miles resulted in advisories for both the nearside and offside rear tyres being close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This contrasts with three consecutive years of clean records, suggesting that while major mechanical components have passed, routine tyre maintenance has recently been neglected. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Between the April 2021 test at 59,697 miles and the January 2024 test at 92,522 miles, the car covered 32,825 miles at a steady rate of roughly 11,000 miles per year. This regularity indicates a predictable usage pattern without long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of rubber-based components and prevents internal-related seizing in the brake system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and investigate the edge wear noted in the 2025 record. This specific wear pattern often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and dampers rather than simple mileage. Given the lack of recorded structural defects in previous years, the chassis appears sound, but the recent tyre-related advisories require immediate attention to ensure uneven wear does not compromise the vehicle's handling stability as it moves beyond the 105,000-mile mark.
