2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FM16 EAE

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following a pass at the most recent test on 4 July 2025 at 44,538 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle carries a clean advisory and defect record at every examination, showing no escalating mechanical concerns over the five-year span reviewed. Mileage data shows light use for a ten-year-old car. The June 2022 test at 34,497 miles and the June 2023 test at 37,816 miles indicate about 3,300 miles covered annually in that period. A sharp drop then appears: the June 2024 test records just 4,089 miles, a figure that sits well below the prior year and suggests either a clerical error at the testing station or an extended period off the road. By July 2025 the odometer reads 44,538 miles, recovering to a plausible low-use total of roughly 4,454 miles per year across the vehicle's life. The single failure on 3 July 2025 at 44,534 miles lists no defects, and the car passed cleanly one day later at 44,538 miles. This pattern points to an administrative or presentation issue at the first test rather than a mechanical fault, with no evidence of outstanding work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity given the low and irregular mileage. Periods of standing invite corrosion and seized components that a pass with no advisories may not expose. Verify the 2024 mileage discrepancy against service records before purchase.
