2016 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · TY10 ARM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 18 June 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears highly stable, as the car has consistently achieved clean passes over the last three years. Although a failure was noted on the same day as the 2025 pass, the lack of reported defects suggests an administrative correction or a minor rectify that did not indicate ongoing mechanical decline. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. There is a steady progression of use between tests, moving from 67,202 miles in May 2022 to 96,067 miles in June 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been left to sit, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though the total mileage places the car at a stage where age-related wear is expected on the drivetrain. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural failures or mechanical faults, a buyer should focus on common wear items associated with this specific model and mileage. A physical inspection is required to evaluate the suspension components, specifically the bushes and artwork arms, which are frequent points of wear on Ford Focus models of this era. Additionally, given the approaching 100,000-mile mark, the brake discs and pads should be checked for thinning and corrosion to ensure they have enough life beyond the basic safety requirements.
