2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · GL66 ADX

The 2025‑09‑02 MOT at 76,090 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record after a prior failure on 2023‑12‑14 that was subsequently resolved. All earlier tests from 2022 through 2024 also showed passes with no defects, demonstrating consistent compliance. Mileage accumulation shows a consistent annual rate of roughly 7,600 miles, matching the vehicle’s 2016 registration year; the interval from the 2022 test (50,644 miles) to the 2023 test (60,141 miles) added 9,497 miles in just over a year, and the subsequent 2024 test (64,826 miles) recorded 4,685 miles in eight months, while the final 2025 test added 11,264 miles in ten months, reflecting normal usage without prolonged idle periods. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs retain sufficient thickness, and examine the exhaust system and chassis for rust or structural compromise, especially around the wheel arches and subframe. Given the absence of recorded defects across all passes, the primary concerns are consumable items such as tyre tread depth and wiper condition, which a visual inspection can confirm, while the lack of recurring mechanical failures suggests previous owners have maintained the core components adequately.
