2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Petrol · SY16 OCF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in its most recent test in February 2026 at 36,302 miles. This result indicates an improvement over the previous year, where the owner had to rectify electrical and tyre issues. The current absence of any advisories or defects on the latest record suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing minor faults before they escalate into mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 2,883 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 2,885 miles in the final year. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components, dry seals, or surface corrosion on the brake discs. A buyer should specifically inspect the physical condition of the tyres, as the February 2024 failure revealed both front tyres were reaching the legal limit and showing edge wear. While these were clearly replaced, an inspection should check for flat spots or uneven wear patterns. Given the low annual mileage, a thorough check of the brake system is necessary to ensure the calipers have not seized and the discs have not developed significant pitting from prolonged inactivity. The chassis and suspension should also be examined for surface corrosion, as low-mileage cars often sit in environments where moisture can accumulate.
