2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · EE02 ROZ

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with eight consecutive MOT passes and no recorded failures since 2019. This stability is evidenced by the most recent clean pass on 30 July 2026, following a trend of zero defects over the last four testing cycles. The only historical deviations from a clean sheet were minor consumable wear items flagged in 2021 and 2022, suggesting a stable mechanical state regarding structural integrity and safety systems. The recorded mileage of 67,579 miles represents a typical usage pattern for a ten year old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,758 miles per year. This moderate rate of accumulation suggests that drivetrain components and suspension systems have been subjected to standard operational wear rather than the accelerated degradation associated with high-mileage commuting or the potential deterioration seen in vehicles that have stood idle for extended periods. Inspection should focus on the components previously flagged as wearing thin. While the 2021 advisories for thinning front brake pads and the 2022 advisories for worn front tyres have not reappeared in recent tests, it is necessary to verify the current condition of the braking system. During a test drive, feel for any pedal judder or pulling to one side under braking, and listen for any grinding sounds that would indicate the pads have reached their wear limits again. Further attention should be paid to the front tyre tread depth and wear patterns to ensure the previous edge-wear issues noted in 2022 have been fully rectified through replacement and correct wheel alignment. Check for uneven wear across the tread, which can signal issues with the steering geometry or suspension bushes. Ensure there are no knocks or vibrations through the steering wheel when traversing uneven road surfaces, as this would indicate wear in the front-end linkages.
