FORD FOCUS2010 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT status following a recent inspection on 6 February 2026 at 105,144 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the failure recorded just three days prior to the pass suggests a minor non-compliance was identified and rectified quickly. Aside from that brief setback, the MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing without advisories or defects since at least January 2023. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 73,970 miles in January 2023 to 105,144 miles in February 2026. This steady progression suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with perished rubber components or seized calipers often found on vehicles that sit stationary for extended durations. While the digital record is clean, the transition from a failure to a pass in February 2026 warrants a physical inspection of the components that caused the initial rejection. Given the age and mileage, a buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of wear or leakage. The chassis should also be checked for surface corrosion or structural degradation, particularly around the rear subframe and sills, which is common for this era of Ford Focus. Finally, check the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or scoring. Although the MOT history shows no issues with emissions or braking efficiency, the increase in mileage over the last three years means consumable items like tyres and wiper blades should be assessed for age and condition. The vehicle appears to have been maintained well enough to pass consecutive tests without recurring mechanical or structural issues.
