2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FE16 EWV

This 2016 Ford Focus presents an unusual history due to its extremely low mileage of 12,825 miles. While the recorded MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no recorded defects across five years of testing, the lack of any MOT data between February 2022 and June 2026 is a significant concern. The vehicle appears to have been stationary for over four years. While low mileage can suggest light use, it often leads to "stale" vehicle syndrome. When a car sits for extended periods, rubber components like seals, hoses, and tyres can perish or crack, and moisture can accumulate in the fuel system and engine oil, leading to internal corrosion that does not show up on a standard MOT test. The trend of the vehicle's condition is difficult to assess accurately because it has not been subjected to an MOT test for over four years. The previous history is stable and clean, but the long gap in testing means the current roadworthiness is completely unknown. You cannot rely on the 2022 pass as an indicator of the car's current mechanical health. Because the car has been sitting idle, you must prioritise a thorough inspection of the consumables. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots caused by long-term parking.
