2016 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · SW16 FPV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing following a minor setback. The most recent MOT test conducted on 8 August 2025 at 45,496 miles returned no defects, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum legal standards. This follows a string of clean passes in the preceding two years, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-maintained since its last failure. The mileage pattern is significantly low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,550 miles per year. Between November 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 11,302 miles, reflecting a pattern of light use. The gap of 5,457 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows consistent annual usage. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The only recorded failure occurred on 8 August 2023 at 34,628 miles due to both the nearside and offside rear tyres having exposed cords. This was a straightforward consumable failure that was rectified immediately to allow a pass on the same day. Because no advisories for suspension bushes, brake lines, or structural corrosion have appeared in recent years, the buyer should still manually check for dry spotting or perished tyres. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection of the brake discs for pitting is advisable to ensure they have not deteriorated due to age and lack of use.
