2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · GC60 RUN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on recent testing history. The most recent MOT on 18 October 2025 at 97,773 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful test in November 2024 at 88,736 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has entered a period of consistent maintenance where minor consumable issues are being addressed before they escalate into failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 31,578 miles in April 2019 to the current 97,773 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage or evidence of long-term stationary periods, which generally helps prevent issues like seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. The annual increases remain predictable, indicating regular road use rather than erratic driving patterns. While the recent history is clean, previous tests highlight specific areas of wear. The November 2022 test flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit, specifically noting inner and outer edge wear. This pattern often indicates a need for wheel alignment or suspension geometry checks. A minor defect regarding a damaged nearside rear reflector was noted in October 2023 at 78,393 miles, though this was a simple lighting/reflector issue rather than a mechanical failure. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering components to ensure the tyre wear noted in 2022 has been rectified. Checking the condition of the bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers would be prudent to rule out underlying geometry issues. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake-related advisories in this history, the vehicle's mechanical upkeep appears to be managed effectively.
