2016 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · CE16 DXS

The 2025-11-04 MOT at 71,289 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. Since the previous test on 2025-04-15 also passed without defects, the owner has addressed any earlier advisories and maintained the car consistently. Mileage has risen from 39,184 miles in March 2023 to 71,289 miles by November 2025, averaging roughly 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a ten‑year‑old Ford Focus. The interval between the April 2025 tests was only one day and 1 mile, indicating a brief, possibly corrective, stop before the later pass. Earlier records show steady accumulation, with no abrupt jumps that would suggest neglect or long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the brake discs are free of scoring and that the calipers move freely, and examine the chassis for any signs of structural rust or corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and subframes. The exhaust system should be checked for cracks or excessive noise, and the tyre tread depth should be measured, as the mileage pattern suggests normal consumable wear rather than abnormal mechanical stress.
