2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · SA16 YMX

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 6 January 2026 at 28,946 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This stable trend across the last five annual tests back to 2022 indicates that the vehicle has remained in a good condition and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or progressive structural issues. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per annum. Between April 2022 at 18,380 miles and January 2026 at 28,946 miles, the car covered only 10,566 miles over nearly four years. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle was used primarily for short trips or has sat stationary for extended periods. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can introduce specific risks related to dry rot and components that degrade due to time rather than use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than distance. Given the low mileage, check all rubber components for cracking, including tyre sidewalls, perished wiper blades, and suspension bushes. The brake system should be inspected for surface corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, which often result from infrequent use. Additionally, verify the fluid levels and condition of the engine oil and brake fluid, as these degrade over a decade regardless of the miles recorded on the odometer.
