2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · DF16 KTK

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 24 November 2025 at 39,173 miles. The maintenance history shows a stable trend where the car consistently meets minimum standards despite isolated failures. While the record shows failures occurring on the same day as passes, the lack of specific recorded defects on the passes suggests these were minor items or administrative issues rectified immediately rather than indicative of systemic mechanical failure or structural decay. At 39,173 miles, this ten-year-old Focus has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual testing patterns, with only 1,261 miles recorded between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 956 miles in the following year. This low mileage profile suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown due to the vehicle potentially sitting for extended periods between uses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often suffer from low-mileage use. Because the MOT record does not detail specific mechanical faults, the inspector must check for perished suspension bushes and cracked sidewalls on tyres, which occur regardless of low miles driven. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-frequency use often leads to rust buildup on rotors. Checking the chassis for early-stage structural rust is also vital to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden damage from environmental exposure over the last decade.
