AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 62,524 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage averages around 6,250 miles, which sits within typical bounds for a ten-year-old vehicle. The records show steady annual accumulation: 39,281 miles in February 2022, rising to 45,834 by February 2023, 51,460 in February 2024, 57,000 in February 2025, and 62,524 in February 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data. The clean test history across all five entries indicates the previous keeper kept on top of consumable wear before each examination. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age. The MOT file raises no advisories on corrosion or exhaust emissions, yet testers record only visible faults at the time of testing. Check for early structural rust on sills and subframes and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition, as these consumables fall outside the scope of a pass with no defects. The absence of recurring mechanical flags suggests sound prior care rather than deferred repairs.
