2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · WE05 BAR

The 2016 Ford Focus with 99,380 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-30 confirming no defects at 99,380 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance since 2022, with all tests from 2022 to 2025 passing, except for a failed MOT on 2024-05-27 at 91,371 miles, which recorded no defects. This suggests the failure may have been a procedural error or unrelated to mechanical issues, as subsequent tests at similar mileages showed no concerns. The absence of recurring faults indicates the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no escalating risks identified in the recorded history. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging ~9,938 miles annually. The 2023-11-13 test at 86,012 miles and 2024-05-27 test at 91,380 miles show steady accumulation, with no significant gaps or rapid increases. The 2024-05-27 failed test at 91,371 miles falls within this range, but the lack of recorded defects implies no critical mechanical degradation. The data reflects a clean maintenance record, with no evidence of neglect or excessive wear on consumables or structural components. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. The absence of brake-related issues in the record is reassuring, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is recommended to confirm no hidden corrosion or binding. Structural integrity remains unaddressed in the MOT history, so checking for rust in chassis areas or body panels—particularly in regions with harsh winters—would be prudent. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound but warrants a thorough pre-purchase check for wear not captured in the MOT data.
