Michael.... Help me understand what the test is. You set the camera, and hold down the button, and the shutter fires until you release the shutter button.
Is there an expectation that something different will happen other than what you experienced?
Were you shooting Continuous High (Ch) or Continous Low (CL)? My understanding is that in CH the autofocus is set only once at the beginning of the sequence, whereas in Continuous Low the autofocus adjusts between each shot. In your last shot, the buggy is no longer in crisp focus.

Is that true when using BBF with Continuous High?
Af-c with release priority will attempt to focus but focus is not required for shutter release. Continuous-low will give more time for focus to catch up. I set my c-low to 3 fps. Also, your focus mode, subject, and lighting will affect how fast the camera re-focuses during the sequence. It may not ever catch up in some situations.
You could try af-c with A1 set to focus priority. This will force a focus each shot and could slow down the burst. Depending on focus mode and action, the focus might not fall where you expect. This applies to shutter button focus. Like Mike said, bbf overrides the af-c priority set in menu A1. With bbf set on the d7200 with af-c, you are forced into release mode. This forced release priority with bbf varies by model.
I was wrong. Just did a moving Continuous High test in good daylight and the autofocus changed between shots.
Now I realize I was confused with the "Speed Priority Continuous" shooting mode of my Sony RX-100.
That's interesting. Now I feel rather embarrassed because my out-of-focus CH and CL images would then be user error. :beguiled: :loyal:
Okay... Here's something to consider... If you're using Single-point...then you need to continually pan the camera to keep the main subject in focus... If you use multiple points and Continuous, then you can hold the camera still, and let the moving subject move thru the frame...
