2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · RL59 HGV

The vehicle remains in roadworthy condition, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in consumable upkeep. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 69,438 miles passed with an advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This mirrors an advisory from the 2024 test at 64,509 miles where the nearside front tyre also showed significant wear. While the car continues to pass without major failures, the recurring tyre issues suggest the previous owner may be delaying routine minor replacements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 44,674 miles and the 2025 test at 69,438 miles, the car covered 24,764 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage rate. There are no unexplained gaps in mileage that would suggest long periods of stationary or sudden heavy use. The relatively low annual accumulation is generally favourable for the drivetrain and suspension components, which typically experience less mechanical stress on a vehicle of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the wheel geometry and suspension bushings. The repeated edge wear on the nearside tyres across 2024 and 2025 often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension components, which can cause premature tyre degradation if not addressed. The offside rear tyre nail defect recorded in 2022 at 52,160 miles highlights the importance of checking the remaining rubber for sidewall damage. Since no structural corrosion or brake system failures have appeared in the history, the primary concerns are limited to the cost of new tyres and the state of the front-end suspension setup.
