2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FM16 KXK

The 2016 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 November 2024 at 92,530 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior passing test on 1 December 2023 at 81,333 miles also showed a clean sheet. The vehicle has not accumulated any advisories or recorded mechanical faults across the available history, indicating no worsening or unresolved issues in the data supplied. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 62,816 miles at the 24 August 2022 test, rising to 81,333 miles by 1 December 2023, then 92,530 miles by 2 November 2024. That equates to roughly 9,250 miles per year with no abnormal gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA entries are sparse but consistently clean, with the only anomalies being paired fail-and-pass logs on 24 August 2022 and 1 December 2023 where no defects were recorded, suggesting administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical failures. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. The absence of advisories does not preclude worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs that a tester may not have flagged at the time. Given the car is now over nine years old, brake discs, exhaust emissions, and underbody structural integrity warrant hands-on checks for hidden rust or binding calipers. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, with no skipped tests and no neglected consumables surfacing in the record. The repeated same-day fail-pass entries imply the owners addressed any paperwork or minor presentation issues promptly. This pattern reflects a vehicle kept to minimum legal standard rather than one with a documented history of deferred mechanical work.
