2016 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · YS16 VTF

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 22 October 2025 at 84,449 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This history of clean passes suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety issues before they could result in failures during the official testing process. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Data shows a period of lower usage between December 2021 (57,724 miles) and October 2022 (60,018 miles), where the car covered only 2,300 miles. However, usage increased significantly since, with over 24,000 miles logged in the three years leading up to the latest tests. This regular operation is generally beneficial for preventing the seal degradation and brake corrosion often associated with long periods of standing stationary. While the digital record shows no recurring faults such as structural corrosion or binding brake calipers, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Ford Focus of this age. Given the recent increase in mileage, the buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue. Checking the thickness of the brake discs and the remaining tyre depth is also necessary to ensure the maintenance aligns with the recorded mileage. Despite the lack of advisories, verifying the integrity of the underbody for surface rust remains a standard professional requirement to ensure long-term durability.
