2016 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · RX16 OLW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on July 14, 2026, at 116,187 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest test indicates a return to minor consumable failures after a long period of clean records. The tester flagged both front wiper blades as streaking and inner tyres as worn to the legal limit on the edges. These are routine maintenance items that do not suggest underlying mechanical failure or a lack of general structural care. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 11,600 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage observed between September 2022 (57,513 miles) and July 2024 (87,588 miles), during which the car covered over 30,000 miles in two years. Since that period, the usage has remained steady, averaging roughly 10,000 miles annually. This consistent mileage suggests regular road use which typically prevents premature degradation of suspension components and rubber seals. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and tyre alignment, as the record shows a recurring history of uneven tyre wear. Faults noted in February 2020, September 2021, and July 2026 all involve inner-edge tyre wear, which often points to incorrect wheel geometry or worn suspension bushes. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or brake system failures, the repeated tyre issues necessitate a physical check of the front control arms and tracking to ensure no further premature wear of new tyres occurs.
