Our Verdict
This is a reasonably sound used buy with a largely clean MOT record, but the 2023 lighting failure means a careful visual check is worthwhile. At 92,761 miles for a 15-year-old Focus, it sits below typical expectations and should appeal to budget-minded buyers.
Ask to see the full service history for this black 1.6-litre petrol Focus, as the MOT record alone does not confirm routine maintenance such as timing belt or brake fluid changes. Use the 2023 near-side position lamp failure as a negotiation point if any exterior lighting looks aged or mismatched. Given the car's September 2010 registration and 1596cc engine, confirm it has had age-appropriate corrosion checks underneath, though no structural issues appear in the MOT data.
The 1.6-litre petrol engine in this Focus typically offers modest fuel consumption suited to mixed use, though exact economy figures are not in the provided data. As a 2010 petrol car under 1.6 litres it should fall into a lower road tax band, and insurance for a 15-year-old hatchback is generally inexpensive. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and basic maintenance are around £800-£1,000.
Inspect all exterior lights closely, particularly the near-side front position lamp that caused the 1 July 2023 failure at 47,804 miles, to ensure replacements were carried out properly and no wiring damage remains. Check the bodywork and sills of this black example for stone chips or rust given its 2010 build date, even though recent MOTs recorded no defects. Verify the 1596cc engine starts cleanly and the mileage progression from 47,804 in 2023 to 92,761 in 2026 is supported by service stamps or receipts.
The 2010 Ford Focus LT60AEL has covered 92,761 miles as of its most recent MOT in June 2026, with passes recorded every year since a single 2023 failure for a near-side position lamp. No defects were noted on the four most recent tests, suggesting consistent upkeep. Without model aggregate data we cannot benchmark reliability, but the individual history shows no recurring mechanical faults.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Ford Focus, so reliability cannot be benchmarked against the wider model population from the provided information.
