2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · YP60 AAZ

The 2010 Ford Focus with 98,257 miles shows a mixed MOT history, with the most recent test on 2025-12-01 recording a pass at the same mileage as a prior fail. No defects were noted in any tests, suggesting unresolved issues may have been addressed or minor non-critical faults overlooked. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears stable, but the recurring fails without recorded defects raise questions about the consistency of maintenance practices. The lack of structural or mechanical advisories in the latest test implies no immediate safety risks, though the pattern of repeated MOT failures at identical mileages warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 98,257 miles aligns with its 16-year age, averaging 6,141 miles annually. However, a significant jump from 74,911 miles (2023-11-18) to 98,257 miles (2025-12-01) reflects a 23,346-mile increase over 25 months, exceeding the average. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such issues were flagged. The 2024-12-07 tests at 85,981 miles show a pass and fail with no defects, indicating potential intermittent faults or incomplete remediation. The sparse data limits definitive conclusions but highlights the need for closer inspection of high-mileage systems. A buyer should prioritize checking the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as older vehicles often develop these issues. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be examined for binding or uneven wear, particularly given the high mileage in recent years. Structural corrosion, though not mentioned in MOT records, remains a concern for a 16-year-old vehicle. The absence of exhaust emissions or fluid leak advisories is positive, but a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s overall condition and verify that prior MOT fails were fully resolved.
