FORD FOCUS2010 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent string of passes over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on 11 July 2025 at 110,747 miles resulted in a pass, effectively clearing the initial failure recorded on the same day. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last four inspections suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by testers. The recorded mileage of 110,747 miles over a 16-year lifespan averages to approximately 6,922 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a Ford Focus of this vintage. Annual mileage accumulation has remained steady, with the vehicle covering roughly 4,600 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, and a similar modest increase leading up to the July 2025 test. This consistent usage profile indicates the vehicle has remained in regular operation rather than suffering from the potential degradation associated with long-term storage. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. While the testers found no structural corrosion, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at the subframes, sills, and floor pans for any signs of oxidation not yet reaching failure thresholds. You should also verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear items on this platform that may not always trigger a formal advisory until they reach a state of significant deterioration. Check the engine bay for signs of oil leaks or perished coolant hoses, as the MOT test does not cover the internal health of the powertrain.
