2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · FM65 SFN

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 June 2025 at 25,108 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed test on the same date at 25,107 miles shows no defects listed, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a clean pass. Recorded mileage sits at 25,108 against roughly ten years of age, equating to about 2,511 miles per year. The DVSA entries run consecutively from 23 June 2022 at 20,805 miles through 24 June 2024 at 24,269 miles and 28 June 2023 at 23,058 miles, showing steady low annual use with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean sheet across every test suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structure in order, though sparse advisory data limits deeper insight into worn suspension bushes or corroding subframes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Low mileage and long standing periods can mask perished rubber mounts, seized brake calipers, and hidden structural corrosion not caught in a pass-with-no-defects test. Check the exhaust for internal rot and confirm brake discs are free of lip and pitting. Given the absence of any recorded advisories across five years, the Focus shows no worsening mechanical trend. Verify the 21 June 2025 failure reason at the testing station, then treat the car as a low-use example needing only standard used-car due diligence.
