2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · TL16 HOD

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 16 June 2025 at 97,622 miles resulted in no recorded defects, mirroring the trend of excellence seen over the previous four years. This stability suggests a proactive maintenance regime where the previous owners likely addressed potential mechanical or safety issues before they could result in a test failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,762 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 48,950 miles and the June 2025 test at 97,622 miles, the car covered 48,672 miles, maintaining a steady rate of roughly 12,000 miles annually. This regular usage pattern indicates the vehicle has not suffered long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the health of engine seals, suspension components, and braking systems. While the record shows no structural or mechanical failures, a buyer should still inspect high-wear items typical for a Focus of this age. At nearly 100,000 miles, suspension components such as coil springs, wish arm bushes, and drop links often show signs of fatigue. The buyer should also examine the brake discs for thinning or pitting and check the tyres for binding, as the MOT only identifies functional failures rather than the remaining life of these consumables.
