2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · EO16 TMX

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a clean pass on October 27, 2025, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of instability. While the car failed consecutive tests in July 2023 and 2024, the subsequent passes without any advisories indicate that the specific mechanical issues identified during those failures were addressed and rectified by the owner. At 81,290 miles, the ten-year-old Ford Focus has averaged approximately 8,129 miles per year. This usage pattern aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a consistent testing interval, with tests performed annually in July between 2023 and 2024, before a shift to October in 2025. There are no significant gaps in the mileage that suggest long periods of stationary use, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer must verify the specific nature of the failures recorded in July 2023 and July 2024, as the provided summary does not list the mechanical defect codes for those dates. Recurring failures in quick succession often point to components such as suspension bushes, brake lines, or exhaust mounting that require frequent attention. Given the most recent clean report, an in-person inspection should focus on checking for early signs of corrosion on the chassis and the integrity of the suspension components to ensure the previous faults have not resurfaced. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.
