2010 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · RS10 AGS

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 21 May 2025 at 22,817 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This reflects a clean record across the last four years, indicating that the vehicle has remained in a sound condition without the development of mechanical faults or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,426 miles per year. Between April 2022 and May 2025, the car covered only 463 miles, moving from 22,354 to 22,817 miles. This minimal usage suggests the car has likely sat stationary for long periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine, drivetrain, and braking components, it often introduces specific risks related to age-related materials and lack of fluid circulation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by lack of use rather than mechanical wear. Check for cracking or perished in rubber elements, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can degrade over time regardless of mileage. The braking system should be inspected for surface corrosion, as brake calipers and discs often seize when not regularly exercised. Additionally, verify the condition of the fluids and check for any leaks from seals that may dry out where rubber parts have not moved during the long periods of inactivity.
