Our Verdict
Strongly recommended based on the availa
While the MOT history is clean, these tests do not confirm the vehicle's service history. You should specifically request evidence of oil changes and check the timing belt replacement interval, which is critical for the 1.0L engine. Ensure all service stamps align with the mileage increases seen in the MOT records, which show an average of roughly 7,000 miles per year since 2022.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the remaining brake pad life, as these are wear-and-tear items that may not have triggered an MOT failure yet but will require replacement soon given the 73,921-mile odometer reading.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for fuel efficiency and typically falls into a lower road tax bracket and insurance group compared to larger Focus variants. Maintenance costs are generally kept low due to the high volume of parts and specialist knowledge available for this model across the UK.
Annual running costs will primarily consist of fuel and insurance, with routine servicing required to maintain the engine. Based on the engine size and vehicle age, the overall cost of ownership is expected to be moderate.
Although this vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, aggregate data for the Ford Focus shows that tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars are common failure points. Manually inspect the tyre tread depths and check the anti-roll bar links for any play or knocking sounds during a test drive.
Verify the operation of all exterior lighting and check the condition of the red paintwork for any fading or clear-coat failure. Finally, check the engine bay for any signs of coolant leaks, which is a point of interest for this specific engine displacement.
This red 2016 Ford Focus 1.0L petrol has a consistent testing record, passing five consecutive MOTs between 2022 and 2026 without a single recorded defect or advisory. With a current mileage of 73,921, it has been used slightly more than the model average but maintains a stable record of compliance.
The Focus has an average MOT pass rate of 79.2% across over a million vehicles, with common issues typically linked to tyres and suspension components.
