2016 Ford Focus 1.5L Diesel · YH16 WVR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 December 2025 at 67,798 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the owner has addressed previous concerns and maintained standards. This follows a clean result from December 2024, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components are currently meeting all legal safety requirements without immediate defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,780 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 56,802 miles and the December 2025 test at 67,798 miles, the car covered roughly 11,000 miles over twenty months. This steady usage rate typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to rubber components becoming prematurely compared to high-mileage counterparts. A single advisory appeared during the 2 January 2024 test at 56,802 miles regarding a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This specific fault often indicates an alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing rather than simple tread wear. While the subsequent tests showed no recurring defects, a buyer should inspect the current tyre wear patterns and check the wheel geometry to ensure no lingering misalignment persists. Given the vehicle's age, a physical inspection of the chassis for corrosion and the condition of brake lines remains advisable, though the MOT record does not flag any structural failures.
