2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WN10 ABZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 March 2025 at 172,579 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car consistently meets testing standards following initial failures. The lack of recorded advisories in the 2024 and 2025 passes suggests that any previous issues identified during failures were addressed immediately, leaving the vehicle in a state of legal compliance without outstanding mechanical defects flagged by the tester. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 172,579 miles reflects an average annual usage of approximately 10,786 miles. The data shows a steady and predictable pattern of accumulation, with 17,660 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 18,466 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is subjected to consistent use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and preventing brake component seizing or corrosion-related issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the high-mileage components, as the MOT record shows no specific recurring faults to guide the search. Given the 172,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential to identify wear or leaks. The age of the car also necessitates a close look at the structural integrity, specifically for corrosion on the sills and subframe, as the MOT only identifies structural rust once it reaches a significant threshold for failure.
