2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · GD66 GAZ

The 2025‑08‑27 MOT at 53,474 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest test. The previous three annual tests, conducted in 2024, 2023 and 2022, also showed passes with zero defects, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a trend of improvement or deterioration. The mileage pattern reflects roughly 5,300 miles per year, well below the average for a 2016 model, and the one‑year gaps between tests suggest regular use without prolonged standing. No rapid mileage accumulation is evident, and the consistent annual intervals reinforce the impression of careful, light‑use operation. Although the official records list no defects, the recurring nature of the tests points to ongoing attention to consumables such as tyres and wiper blades, while suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, structural rust and exhaust condition remain components that merit close inspection. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension geometry, look for binding rear calipers, assess brake disc wear and pad thickness, and inspect the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion, as these areas are prone to deterioration even when MOTs appear clean. In summary, the vehicle’s roadworthiness status is currently sound, but a thorough physical inspection of the highlighted mechanical and structural elements is essential before purchase.
