2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Petrol · CU16 VDC

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 May 2025 at 96,688 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 20 May 2024 at 86,371 miles confirms the vehicle entered its tenth year free of advisories or mechanical faults. Recorded mileage tracks closely to typical use for the age. The car covered 74,354 miles by 25 May 2023, rose to 86,371 miles by 20 May 2024, and reached 96,688 miles by 8 May 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year, a normal pattern with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA history is sparse but clean, showing only two failed tests on consecutive days in 2023 and 2024 that listed no defects, indicating administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the age and near-100,000-mile mileage even though no advisories flag them. The earlier same-day fail and pass cycles suggest the previous owner relied on garage rectification rather than preventative care, so check for latent corrosion on structural members and verify exhaust emissions against current limits. Given the absent advisory record across four years, the Focus shows no worsening trend or recurring fault. The evidence implies competent basic upkeep, though the lack of flagged wear items at this mileage warrants hands-on confirmation of consumable condition before purchase.
