2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · ML66 VFT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 with 52,183 miles. While the test initially failed on that same date due to a non-functional nearside front side repeater, the defect was rectified to secure a pass. Beyond this minor electrical fault, the maintenance trend appears stable, as no structural failures or serious mechanical defects have been recorded over the last four years of testing history. At approximately ten years old, the recorded mileage of 52,183 miles is significantly low, averaging roughly 5,200 miles per annum. The usage pattern remains consistent, with an increase of 8,810 miles between July 2022 and 2023, and another 7,670 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low mileage suggests limited wear on drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyres, as the record shows a recurring pattern of poor issues. The tester flagged a worn offside front tyre at the legal limit in 2023 at 37,811 miles, followed by a perished nearside rear sidewall in 2024 at 45,481 miles. These entries indicate a history of neglecting basic consumable maintenance. An in-person inspection must check for sidewall cracking and uneven wear patterns, as the age of the rubber often outlasts the tread despite low mileage.
