2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · SH16 XPF

The 2016 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 118,690 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of examinations across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,869 per year against the 10-year age, a typical use profile for this model. The records show steady accumulation: 95,560 miles at the 28 June 2022 test, 102,119 miles passing on 22 June 2023, 109,024 miles on 26 June 2024, and 118,690 miles in June 2025. A single failure appears on 21 June 2023 at 102,117 miles with no defects listed, corrected and passed one day later at 102,119 miles, indicating an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns logged at any stage. Given the absence of recorded advisories across five years, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess. Prior focus points are front coil springs, rear suspension bushes, and brake caliper operation, as these wear silently between tests on higher-mileage hatchbacks. Verify the 2023 one-day fail-pass was a paperwork correction, not a concealed defect, by checking the V5C and any dealer notes before purchase.
