2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · CE16 ACV

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 20 November 2025 at 77,561 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories, showing the vehicle has not deteriorated mechanically across the recorded period. The mileage pattern aligns with typical use for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 66,468 miles at the 22 November 2021 test, rising to 70,152 by 14 November 2022, 72,383 by 9 November 2023, 75,099 by 25 November 2024, and 77,561 by 20 November 2025. Annual accumulation stayed between roughly 2,400 and 3,700 miles, with no gaps or sudden jumps. The clean sheet across all five entries means the DVSA data gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The MOT assesses roadworthiness on the test day only and does not measure remaining tyre life, brake disc thickness, or suspension bush condition between tests. Given the car is now over nine years old, the examiner should check subframe corrosion, coil spring fatigue, and caliper operation that a no-defect result would not expose. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the Focus to a basic standard acceptable for MOT compliance. The absence of repeat advisories on exhaust emissions, steering, or brake binding suggests no recurring fault trend. Treat the history as a positive indicator, but verify mechanical wear in person before purchase.
