2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FH66 FLB

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 December 2025 at 95,781 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from December 2022 through December 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 5 December 2023 at 73,537 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows a fail with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, which points to an administrative or process error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 62,093 miles at the December 2022 test, rising to 73,537 by December 2023, 85,727 by December 2024, and 95,781 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year across the documented period, with no sudden accumulation spikes or unexplained gaps. The clean advisory columns across all five entries indicate the previous owner kept consumables and core systems within test limits, though the sparse defect data limits insight into underlying wear patterns. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the car is now past 95,000 miles. The MOT history flags no corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or structural integrity concerns, but annual passes with zero advisories do not confirm component life remaining on items such as tyres or wiper blades beyond the test date. The duplicate 5 December 2023 entries warrant a DVSA data check to confirm the failure was clerical. Assuming that is cleared, the vehicle's recorded history suggests disciplined upkeep with no recurring mechanical trend requiring corrective action before sale.
