2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · ND16 PLV

This Ford Focus presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness record. The most recent test on 27 September 2025 at 74,242 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a state of repair that meets or exceeds minimum legal standards. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,424 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, with 10,078 miles added between the September 2022 test at 57,164 miles and the September 2023 test at 67,658 miles. A slight increase in usage occurred between August 2024 and September 2025, where the vehicle covered 5,095 miles. The brief failure on 22 September 2023 was resolved within three days, suggesting a minor issue that was rectified immediately. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last four years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. There are no recurring trends regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The record shows no evidence of structural integrity issues or significant rust, which often plague vehicles approaching a decade of use. A physical inspection should focus on general wear and tear that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads to ensure they have not reached their limit since the last test. Inspect the service history for evidence of oil changes and timing belt replacements, as the MOT record confirms legal roadworthiness but does not verify the internal mechanical health of the engine.
