2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · SC16 CFU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 October 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a failure on that same day for a compromised nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover. This defect was addressed immediately to allow for a pass, and no further defects were noted at the time of the successful test at 81,954 miles. At 81,954 miles over ten years old, the Focus has averaged approximately 8,200 miles per year. This aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation shows consistent use, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 8,000 miles in the year leading to the latest test. This regular interval suggests the car has not sat stationary for extended periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid systems. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension assembly during a physical inspection. The November 2024 advisory at 75,039 miles regarding thin front brake pads indicates that consumable components were reaching the end of their service life at that time. Given the subsequent failure of the ball joint dust cover in 2025, a thorough check of all suspension ball joints and bushings is necessary to ensure no further play or accelerated wear has developed. The lack of structural corrosion advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains in good condition for now.
