2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Petrol · SL66 FLC

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a maintenance trend that appears stable and improving. The most recent MOT test conducted in June 2025 at 54,449 miles returned a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been successfully addressed. While the history shows intermittent failures, the subsequent clean passes suggest that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults identified by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,445 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between the July 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 3,000 miles recorded by June 2025. This low annual mileage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between journeys. A physical inspection should focus on the specific areas that previously triggered test failures. The July 2023 failure at 48,345 miles was due to a significantly worn offside front brake disc, and the July 2024 failure involved an insufficient washer fluid system. A buyer should verify the current condition of all brake discs for any uneven wear or binding calipers and ensure the washer system is fully functional and free of blockages. Given the low mileage, also check for surface corrosion on the brake rotors and undercarriage, as these are common issues on vehicles that are not driven frequently.
