2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WD16 ACO

The 2016 Ford Focus holds a roadworthy verdict as of the latest examination on 13 January 2026 at 107,171 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the supplied history, with clean passes in October 2023, January 2025 and January 2026. A single failure on 7 November 2022 at 79,604 miles shows no listed defects, an anomaly that does not indicate worsening mechanical condition but suggests an administrative or presentation issue resolved by the pass one week later at 79,678 miles. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a ten-year-old hatchback. The record opens with 79,604 miles in November 2022, rises to 96,084 miles by 26 October 2023, then to 103,954 miles on 20 January 2025 and 107,171 miles on 13 January 2026. This equates to an average near 10,700 miles per annum, though the interval from late 2022 to late 2023 saw about 16,400 miles added, a brief period of heavier commuting. The final year dropped to just over 3,200 miles, implying the car stood more or covered short trips. Sparse entries and zero advisories on consumables like tyres or wiper blades point to a lightly documented but apparently well-kept service life. Prospective buyers should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes and brake discs given the MOT offers only periodic snapshots. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the data is reassuring, yet the unexplained 2022 failure warrants obtaining the full DVSA refusal notice. Check for any signs of binding calipers or coil spring fatigue that a no-defect pass might overlook. Verify the vehicle has not suffered undocumented accident damage beneath sound paintwork.
