2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · RO16 BAU

The current roadworthiness status of this Ford Focus is excellent, reflecting a highly stable maintenance trend. The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 19 June 2025 at 82,805 miles with zero recorded defects or advisories. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of compliance over the last four years, suggesting the vehicle has been subjected to diligent upkeep and regular servicing by its previous owners. The recorded mileage of 82,805 over a ten-year period averages approximately 8,280 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage expectations for a vehicle of this class. The progression is steady, showing no evidence of long-term storage or erratic, high-intensity usage. The jump from 49,548 miles in June 2022 to 82,805 miles in June 2025 indicates a consistent annual accumulation of roughly 11,000 miles, confirming the car remains in active, regular service. The history contains no recurring mechanical faults or structural warnings, which is an encouraging sign for prospective buyers. While the 2024 test record shows a failed attempt followed by an immediate pass on the same day, this is likely an administrative anomaly or a minor, rectified issue rather than a sign of systemic failure. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the integrity of the exhaust system, as these components often reach the end of their service life at this mileage. Check the brake discs and pads for signs of surface corrosion or uneven wear, as these are the most common items to require attention on a Focus of this vintage.
