2016 Ford Focus 2.3L Petrol · CY66 OPC

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 34,668 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 12 September 2023 at 26,655 miles, reversed two days later on 14 September 2023 with a pass and no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a substantive mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 34,668 miles against a ten-year-old car, an average of roughly 3,467 miles per year. The tests show gentle accumulation: 25,887 miles in July 2022, 26,655 by September 2023, 30,966 by September 2024, and 34,668 by September 2025. No rapid jumps or dormant gaps appear. The low annual use implies lighter load on consumables and drivetrain, though long stationary periods can let corrosion or perished seals develop unseen. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and low-use profile. The clean MOT history offers no advisories on structural integrity or exhaust emissions, so no recurring wear pattern emerges from the record. Verify underbody condition for rust and check tyres and wiper blades for age-related cracking, as these are not captured by a pass with no defects. The two-day fail-pass in September 2023 warrants a glance at the original refusal reason to confirm it carried no hidden rectification.
