2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · YD60 ACO

The 2010 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 12 January 2026 at 160,527 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The January 2026 test cycle shows a fail on the same day at 160,519 miles with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass at 160,527 miles; this points to an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or defects appear on any test from 2023 through 2026. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,000 miles, consistent with typical use for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 139,912 miles at the 31 January 2023 test, rising to 147,751 by 7 February 2024, 153,656 by 31 January 2025, and 160,527 by January 2026. The gaps between tests are narrow and the accumulation is steady, with no standing periods or sudden high-use spikes evident. The clean sheet across five consecutive tests suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory compliance in order. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, or structural corrosion in the DVSA data, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of those components. At 160,000 miles the original dampers, wishbone bushes, and exhaust system are past normal service life even where not yet failed. A borescope check of sills and subframe for hidden rust is warranted given the vehicle's age. The repeated zero-advisory passes imply cosmetic or intermittent faults may escape the annual test. Verify the January 2026 fail reason via the full DVSA certificate, as the no-defect entry is irregular. Budget for consumables and ageing rubber regardless of the clean record.
