2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · SY16 OCM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 20 February 2026 at 67,018 miles. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects on the subsequent pass suggests an administrative error or a minor issue that was immediately rectified. Since the March 2024 clean pass, the vehicle has shown no signs of recurring mechanical degradation or structural failure over the last two years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage commuter profile, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 5,121 miles, followed by another 3,228 miles in the eleven months leading up to the latest test. This steady, low accumulation suggests regular use which is generally beneficial for seals, gaskets, and brake components compared to vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. The intervals between tests indicate the owner has adhered to the standard annual annual testing schedule. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension bushes and brake components, as these are common areas of wear on the Ford Focus of this age. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage means that rubber components may still age and crack rather than wearing out from friction. Check for any early signs of surface corrosion on the sills or exhaust system, as the record does not explicitly flag structural integrity issues but the absence of them in a decade-old vehicle warrants a visual check of the undercarriage.
