2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · EG16 MMK

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. While the most recent test on 2 July 2025 at 47,330 miles resulted in a failure due to a structural tear in the offside rear tyre, the issue was immediately rectified as evidenced by the subsequent pass with no defects. Prior to this incident, the vehicle maintained a clean record for three consecutive years, suggesting a consistent approach to basic upkeep by the owner. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,733 miles per annum. Between July 2022 and July 2025, the car covered only 7,235 miles, moving from 40,095 to 47,330. This pattern indicates the car is used for short journeys or remains stationary for extended periods. While low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues through inactivity. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyres for signs of dry rot or cracking, as low annual mileage often causes rubber to age before the tread wears out. The structural failure noted in 2025 highlights the need to check the remaining tyres for sidew damage or bulges. Given the low usage frequency, the buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake calipers for corrosion, as these components can seize or perish over time regardless of the distance driven.
