2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · DF16 VHP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 64,103 miles resulted in a failure due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint. While the vehicle passed the immediate re-test, the recurring mechanical failures across multiple years suggest the owner only addresses components once they reach a point of legal failure. At 64,104 miles, the Focus shows a mileage profile consistent with its ten-year-old age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. The intervals between annual tests are regular, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 3,500 miles between 2024 and 2025. This low annual mileage often leads to rubber components perishing over time regardless of tread, which aligns with the issues noted. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record flags repeated excessive wear on both suspension bushes and ball joints between 2023 and 2025. The history also indicates a trend of neglecting brake consumables and tyres. The September 2023 failure highlighted front brake pads below the 1.5mm limit and worn discs across the axle. Multiple advisories regarding uneven tyre wear and perishing in 2023 and 2024 suggest potential alignment issues that require verification to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
