2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · PX66 VSP

The 2016 Ford Focus currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness criteria, having passed the most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 61 788 miles with no defects recorded. The trend in the vehicle’s maintenance history appears to be improving: after a series of failures in January 2026 that highlighted headlamp aim and corrosion on the rear anti‑roll bar, the June 2026 test returned a clean result. Earlier failures in 2025 and 2023 centred on tyre wear, a cut rear tyre, and suspension arm bush wear rather than structural failure, indicating that the owner has been addressing consumable wear and minor corrosion. Mileage accumulation over the last decade has been steady. From 32 858 miles in December 2019 to 61 788 miles in June 2026 the car has averaged roughly 6 200 miles per year, with no abrupt spikes. The most rapid increase occurred between December 2022 (45 040 miles) and June 2023 (52 447 miles), a gain of 7 407 miles over twelve months, which is within normal expectations for a vehicle of this age. The mileage pattern suggests consistent use rather than periods of inactivity or over‑use. A prospective buyer should focus on the following items when inspecting the car in person. Verify that all tyres meet the legal tread depth and are free of cuts or side‑wall damage; the record shows near‑legal wear on front tyres in 2025 and a rear tyre cut in 2023. Check the alignment and aim of both front headlamps, as failures were recorded in 2019, 2025, and January 2026. Inspect the rear anti‑roll bar and rear suspension components for corrosion, which has been noted on several occasions but never to a structurally serious extent. Examine the front lower suspension arm pin and bush for wear; the 2023 record flagged this issue. Confirm that the rear position lamp is functioning, as a failure was noted in June 2023. Finally, review any child seat fittings that may have previously obscured the adult belt inspection, ensuring that the seat belt system is fully accessible and compliant. In summary, the vehicle’s most recent MOT confirms it is roadworthy and that the owner has addressed the recurring minor faults. The mileage history shows regular, moderate usage. A careful visual and functional inspection of tyres, headlamps, suspension bushings, anti‑roll bars, and lighting will confirm that the car remains in a condition suitable for continued use.
