2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WM66 XFY

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state, following a clean pass on 19 December 2025 at 69,245 miles. While the history shows intermittent failures, the maintenance trend appears stable as the owner has consistently addressed identified issues to achieve subsequent passes. The most recent test is notable for recording no defects or advisories, which suggests that the immediate mechanical and safety components are functioning within operating parameters according to DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with average usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles annually. There is a distinct cluster of activity between 30 December 2024 and 3 January 2025, where the car covered only 16 miles between a failure and a pass. This indicates that the faults were rectified immediately following the test failure rather than being left to persist. The overall mileage of under 70,000 miles is relatively low for the age, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and rubber-based components like suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the previous failures in late 2023 and late 2024. Although the record does not specify the exact mechanical cause of those failures, the recurring nature of testing suggests attention paid to consumable items such as lighting assemblies, wiper blades, or emissions components. Given the age of the Focus, a thorough check for corrosion on the subframe and the condition of the brake lines is essential, as these areas often degrade over time regardless of low annual mileage.
