2010 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · SK60 BEU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-15 at 96,220 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the prior test on 2025-07-14 at 96,217 miles failed without recorded issues. This pattern of alternating passes and failures without defect notes suggests inconsistent testing or unresolved minor faults. The 2024-07-02 pass at 90,634 miles and 2023-06-23 pass at 84,714 miles indicate prior compliance, yet the lack of detailed defect records limits confidence in the maintenance trend. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears stable but requires further inspection to confirm. Mileage progression shows a steady 5,905-mile annual increase between 2023 and 2024, followed by 5,586 miles in 2025, aligning with the expected 6,014-mile average for its age. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, suggesting consistent usage. The absence of recurring defects in the MOT history implies no major systemic issues, though the lack of detailed failure explanations prevents a full assessment of underlying problems. Buyers should prioritise checking suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or wear, as unrecorded faults may persist. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody or chassis, should be inspected, as older vehicles often develop hidden rust. A pre-purchase inspection is advised to verify the absence of undiagnosed issues not captured in the MOT records.
