2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CE60 BAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 13 August 2025 at 83,099 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific mechanical issue was rectified immediately to bring the car up to test standards. Since the 2022 inspection, the vehicle has maintained a clean passing record without any noted advisories or recurring failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental usage, moving from 77,289 miles in August 2022 to 83,099 miles in August 2025. This low annual mileage indicates light road use, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or the drying out of seals, which is not reflected in the odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than high mileage. Given the clean MOT history, the primary concerns are likely structural corrosion on the underbody and the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, which can perish over time regardless of distance driven. Check for rust around the rear arches and sills, as these are common areas for this generation. Because the 2025 failure was immediately resolved, it is also worth verifying the specific reason for that failure to ensure it was not a symptom of a deeper mechanical fault that may recur soon.
