FORD FOCUS2010 · 1.6L Petrol

The 2010 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 25 September 2025 at 116,479 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the two most recent annual tests showing no advisories and no mechanical faults. Prior to this, the vehicle logged two failed tests on the same dates in 2023 and 2024 at 96,258 and 106,750 miles respectively, yet both failures carried no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical concern. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,280 miles per year against the 116,479 miles now shown. The record spans just three calendar years of testing, with the September 2023 test at 96,258 miles, the September 2024 test at 106,750 miles, and the September 2025 test at 116,479 miles showing a consistent ~10,000-mile yearly increment. No rapid accumulation or prolonged standing gaps appear in the data, and the clean pass sheets across this period suggest routine use rather than neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the unexplained same-day fail and pass pairs in 2023 and 2024. The absence of recorded advisories on those sheets does not preclude worn consumables or early corrosion that a tester may not have flagged under the old presentation. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants physical checks for rust, as the MOT history offers no visibility of underside condition between tests. The repeated zero-defect failures point to clerical or documentation anomalies rather than owner-skipped upkeep, but the lack of granular advisory data means tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions should be verified in person before purchase.
