2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · CV66 ULJ

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 60,411 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle entered 2026 in sound mechanical condition. Prior tests in December 2024 and December 2023 also closed with passes, so no worsening fault pattern emerges across the available record. Mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 49,478 miles on 13 December 2023, rising to 53,552 miles by 16 December 2024 and 60,411 miles by 15 December 2025. That equates to roughly 3,500 to 7,000 miles per year, reflecting light but consistent use with no standing periods or abrupt accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, listing only passes and two same-day failures with no defects recorded, which suggests routine test administrative re-checks rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and the absence of advisory notes in the record. The lack of flagged corrosion or exhaust emissions issues is favourable, yet MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component remaining life. Verify the two 2023 and 2024 same-day fail-and-pass entries were clerical retests and not concealed rectification work. Given the low annual mileage and clean test history, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic upkeep. Physical checks of tyre sidewalls, underbody structural integrity and fluid condition remain prudent before purchase.
