2016 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · SA16 ABG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 March 2026 at 71,174 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle sufficiently to avoid recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a decade-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 39,162 miles and the February 2025 test at 58,945 miles, the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in two years, representing a slight spike in usage compared to the historical average. However, the subsequent interval of 12,229 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests shows a return to normal usage which helps prevent the deterioration of rubber components and seals associated with long periods of standing. While the history is largely clean, the failure on 4 March 2024 at 48,503 miles warrants a closer look at what was rectified to achieve the immediate retest. Since the specific defect was not detailed in the summary provided, a buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points on the Focus model. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the underside for corrosion on the exhaust and brake lines is necessary to ensure no hidden structural issues are developing despite the clean MOT results.
