2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · SK60 BDY

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 10 September 2024 at 130,215 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent inspection resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed its initial attempts in both 2023 and 2024, these failures occurred within a negligible mileage window of the subsequent passes, suggesting these were likely administrative or minor technical hiccups rather than evidence of systemic mechanical neglect. The recorded mileage of 130,215 over sixteen years averages approximately 8,138 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a Ford Focus of this vintage. The data shows a notable increase in annual usage between July 2023 and September 2024, where the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles. This indicates that the car has transitioned from light usage to more frequent, perhaps daily, operation in the most recent period. The lack of recurring advisories throughout this high-mileage interval suggests the powertrain has remained reliable under increased load. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that often escape the MOT tester's scope, such as the condition of the clutch and the dual-mass flywheel, which are common failure points on this model at this mileage. Inspect the suspension bushings, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or recent replacement, as these parts endure significant stress on UK roads. Check the underside for any signs of corrosion on the sills and subframes, as the MOT history does not explicitly detail structural integrity beyond the pass criteria. Given the recent uptick in mileage, verify the timing belt replacement interval to ensure the engine remains protected against catastrophic failure.
