AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Ford Focus has a current roadworthiness status of passed, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 2026-06-02 at 93,051 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no defects recorded in the last two tests. This suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained in recent years. The recorded mileage of 93,051 miles, with an average annual mileage of approximately 9,305 miles, is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no notable gaps or rapid mileage accumulation in the provided history. The MOT records show a clean and sparse pattern, with no significant issues reported in the last five years. A closer examination of the vehicle's history reveals recurring issues with tyre wear, particularly on the front tyres. The nearside and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge in multiple tests, dating back to 2019. Additionally, the vehicle has had issues with headlamp functionality, specifically the offside headlamp not working on main beam in 2025. The buyer should inspect the tyres and headlamp system in person to assess their condition and ensure they meet the required standards. Furthermore, the buyer should also check the brake system, as the vehicle has had issues with binding brakes in the past, although this was not a recurring problem. The buyer should also be aware that the vehicle has had minor issues with corrosion or damage to the front tyres in the past, which may indicate a lack of basic upkeep. It is essential to inspect the vehicle's structural integrity, suspension, and exhaust emissions to ensure they are in good condition.
