2016 Ford Focus ST-3 Tdci 2.0L Diesel · ML06 ANL

The vehicle's MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of recorded defects. The most recent test on 9 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows two consecutive clean passes in June 2024 and June 2023. A failure was recorded earlier in June 2023, though the specific mechanical cause for that failure was not documented in the provided summary. The vehicle has covered 114,189 miles over its approximately ten-year lifespan. This equates to an average annual usage of roughly 11,419 miles, which aligns with typical UK driving patterns for a diesel vehicle of this age. The MOT records show consistent annual testing, with the most recent entry occurring less than a year before the current date of 30 August 2026. While the recent three years of testing show no recorded advisories or failures, the total mileage suggests significant wear on consumable components. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as high-mileage diesel engines often place considerable stress on these areas. The brake discs and pads should also be checked for uneven wear or binding, despite the lack of recent MOT advisories. Given the absence of recorded structural corrosion or exhaust emissions issues in the recent history, the primary focus should remain on mechanical wear consistent with 114,189 miles. Checking the condition of the drivetrain and verifying the integrity of the braking system during a physical inspection is advisable to supplement the clean MOT data. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
