2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · MW66 FFR

An exceptionally low usage profile defines this vehicle, which has maintained a consistent record of roadworthiness with no recorded defects across its testing history since 2019. The most recent test on 19 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no advisories, continuing a trend of clean results observed since 2022. The only recorded irregularity in the provided data was a single advisory in November 2021 regarding nearside front tyre wear on the edges, but the subsequent three years of testing have shown no further issues with tyre condition or other mechanical components. The recorded mileage of 18,172 miles for a 2016 model indicates an average annual accumulation of approximately 1,817 miles. This level of usage is significantly lower than the UK average and suggests the vehicle has spent considerable periods stationary or has been used only for very short, infrequent trips. Mechanically, such low mileage means that wear on high-friction components like brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes may be minimal, but it also means the vehicle has not been subjected to the regular operating temperatures and mechanical movement that help prevent the buildup of sludge or the seizing of components like brake calipers. Given the history of a single tyre wear advisory, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the wheel alignment and steering response during a test drive. If the vehicle exhibits any pulling to one side or if the steering wheel is not centred when driving on a straight road, it may indicate that the underlying cause of the previous edge wear, such as worn suspension bushes or incorrect toe settings, has not been fully addressed. Listen for any rhythmic thumping or uneven road noise that could suggest uneven tread wear on the remaining tyres. Because the vehicle has been driven so little over its ten-year lifespan, it is important to inspect the condition of rubber components and fluid levels. While the MOT records show no leaks or structural issues, the low mileage profile warrants a physical check for any signs of perished rubber in the engine bay or around the suspension linkages. During the test drive, pay close attention to the feel of the brake pedal; any sponginess or lack of firmness could be a result of the vehicle's infrequent use, and any unusual knocks or clunks when traversing speed bumps should be investigated to ensure the suspension components remain in good order despite the low mileage.
