2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WV66 FCO

The vehicle appears to be in a stable roadworthiness condition based on the most recent MOT history. The February 2026 test at 65,059 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of resolving previous issues, as the vehicle passed in October 2024 after an initial failure on the same day. The absence of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the immediate mechanical concerns that caused previous failures have been addressed. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,506 miles per year. The data shows steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity, moving from 53,437 miles in September 2023 to 65,059 miles in February 2026. This consistent usage pattern generally indicates a vehicle that is driven regularly, which helps prevent issues like seized calipers or perished rubber components often found on cars that sit idle for extended periods. The MOT record shows two instances of failure without specific defect descriptions, occurring in September 2023 and October 2024. While the most recent tests were successful, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension system and braking components. Specifically, check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for signs of excessive wear or corrosion. Given the previous failures, verifying that the underlying issues were properly rectified rather than just cleared through a retest is a prudent step. A thorough check of the underside for structural corrosion is also advised, particularly around the subframes and exhaust system. While the current records show no immediate mechanical risks, the history of intermittent failures suggests the vehicle may require closer attention to consumables such as tyres and wiper blades during a pre-purchase inspection. Focus on ensuring the vehicle's current maintenance regime remains consistent with the steady usage pattern shown in the mileage data.
