2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · EK66 TZP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of clean passes over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2022 at 102,221 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating the mechanical and safety systems met the minimum standard at that time. Since no tests have been recorded for nearly four years, the current roadworthiness status is technically unverified, though the historical data suggests a consistent level of maintenance prior to the lapse. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per annum. Between September 2019 and September 2021, the car covered 27,973 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. There is a notable gap of 15,528 miles between the September 2021 and September 2022 tests, which aligns with the overall annual average. The current four-year gap in MOT records since the 2022 test is a concern as it masks any developing faults or degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear that the MOT does not fully capture. Given the mileage exceeds 100,000 miles, inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints for signs of play or perished rubber. The failure in September 2020 at 72,847 miles suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly, but the buyer should still check the brake discs for corrosion and the calipers for binding, especially since the vehicle has not been professionally tested in several years.
