2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · MV16 DRZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The September 2025 test at 47,552 miles resulted in a pass, although the tester flagged a slightly damaged offside rear tyre. This follows a clean pass in September 2024 at 43,351 miles, suggesting the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of upkeep over the last two years. The mileage pattern indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,755 miles per year for a ten-year-old vehicle. The data shows steady, incremental growth between tests, such as the 1,867-mile increase between the September 2024 and September 2025 inspections. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has seen light use, which typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and suspension, though it can sometimes lead to degradation in rubber seals or battery health if the vehicle sits idle for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to tyre management and sensor functionality. The record shows a recurring trend of tyre-related issues, including a failure in September 2022 for low tread depth and advisories for worn edges in September 2023 and damage in September 2025. This pattern suggests that while the vehicle is being maintained, tyre replacement intervals may be stretched. The 2022 failure also noted a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and a faulty side repeater, so verifying that all electronic sensors and exterior lighting are fully operational is necessary. Beyond the recorded tyre issues, the MOT history lacks any mentions of structural corrosion, brake binding, or suspension component failures. Given the low mileage, the mechanical integrity of the brakes and suspension bushes should remain high, but a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls and tread wear patterns is recommended to ensure the vehicle is not suffering from alignment issues.
