2016 Ford Focus 2.3L Petrol · RA16 OXB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 20 March 2026 at 67,362 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met minimum standards following immediate remedial action. While the record shows instances of failure in 2025 and 2026, the lack of recorded defects on the subsequent pass certificates suggests these were likely minor, isolated items or consumable-related failures that were corrected quickly by the owner rather than deep-seated mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 57,711 miles and the August 2025 test at 64,688 miles, the vehicle covered 6,977 miles, showing steady annual usage. The interval of 2,674 miles between August 2025 and March 2026 indicates the car is driven sparingly. This low mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to higher-mile vehicles of the same age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas most likely to trigger the recorded failures, although the specific defects were not detailed in the summary. Given the age of the vehicle, check the rubber-mounted suspension bushes and control arms for cracking, as these perish over time regardless of low mileage. Examine the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear, which can occur when a vehicle sits for long periods between uses. The absence of structural advisories for corrosion in the history suggests the chassis remains in good condition for its age.
