2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · LD66 OPS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT history where the most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 16,981 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates an improvement from the state recorded in early 2023, suggesting that the previous owner addressed the identified tyre issues and maintained the vehicle to a passing standard recently. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per annum. Between January 2024 and January 2026, the car covered only 2,057 miles, confirming a pattern of infrequent use. However, the gap between the December 2021 test and January 2023 test shows a period of low activity where only 3,705 miles elapsed, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues despite the lack of mechanical wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the physical condition of the tyres, as the 2023 test at 13,486 miles flagged multiple perishing sidewalls and uneven wear. While the recent MOT passed cleanly, low mileage increases the risk of dry rot and age-related rubber failure which tread depth measurements mask. Check the brake discs for corrosion or seizing, as vehicles that sit for long periods frequently develop surface rust or binding calipers that may not trigger a failure during a stationary MOT inspection.
