2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Petrol · CV66 SSZ

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 44,478 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since September 2022. Recorded mileage sits at 44,478 miles against a ten-year age, equating to roughly 4,448 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle, consistent accumulation: 33,278 miles in September 2022, 36,548 miles in September 2023, 40,239 miles in September 2024, and 44,478 miles in September 2025. A failed test on 19 September 2023 at 36,542 miles was followed one day later by a pass at 36,548 miles with no defects listed, indicating the failure carried no recorded fault and the car was promptly retested. The low annual use suggests extended standing periods rather than hard drivetrain wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-mileage dormancy, as MOT passes with no advisories do not capture incipient corrosion or perished rubbers. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but standing time can conceal binding calipers or flat-spotted tyres unseen by the tester. Pre-purchase checks should confirm structural integrity beneath sills and subframes for moisture-related corrosion, and verify exhaust emissions under load. No recurring mechanical faults emerged across the record, so the Focus shows no worsening pattern requiring corrective action before sale.
