2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · DF16 VHM

The 2025‑09‑24 MOT at 70,095 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has remained stable or improved since the previous year. Mileage has risen from 9,269 miles in early 2021 to 70,095 miles in late 2025, an average increase of roughly 14,500 miles per year since 2022, indicating heavy usage; earlier years show lower mileage with no significant gaps, and the 2020 dual‑test episode reflects a corrective repair rather than a chronic issue. Recurring observations of service‑brake binding, tyre nail or perishing damage, and headlamp aim deviations suggest that the buyer should verify caliper operation, disc condition, suspension bushes, and tyre pressure, while also checking for structural rust or corrosion that could affect chassis integrity. A buyer should therefore focus on the brake system, suspension components, tyre condition, and alignment, and request evidence of recent tyre replacement or brake service before finalising the purchase.
