2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · LT60 ABK

The 2010 Ford Focus demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-09 at 144,938 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of intermittent failures in 2024 and 2025, though those tests also reported no defects. The absence of recorded issues in the latest assessment suggests that any prior concerns were resolved, indicating proactive maintenance. However, the vehicle’s age and mileage align with typical usage, and the lack of recurring mechanical faults in the latest test supports its current roadworthiness. The mileage progression reveals a consistent annual average of approximately 9,059 miles, which is standard for a 16-year-old vehicle. Notable gaps exist between the 2024 and 2025 tests, with a 37,253-mile increase over 12 months, potentially reflecting heavier usage or infrequent testing. The 2024-01-17 test at 91,447 miles passed without issues, while the subsequent 2024-01-11 failure at 91,184 miles occurred just six days earlier, suggesting possible short-term neglect or unresolved minor faults. The MOT history remains largely clean, with no significant mechanical or structural defects documented. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age, and inspect brake systems for wear, as high mileage can accelerate disc and pad degradation. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or corrosion may develop over time. While the MOT records do not flag specific issues, the intermittent failures and mileage spikes warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
