2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AV60 WMD

This 2010 Ford Focus has covered approximately 123,118 miles, averaging around 7,700 miles per year. This is typical usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has not been excessively driven but also hasn't sat idle for long periods, which helps avoid some age-related rubber degradation. The most recent MOT from August 2025 was a pass, but it highlighted that both rear tyres are worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This follows a pattern of tyre-related issues seen throughout the history, including cracking and perishing noted in 2023. The mechanical trend shows signs of aging suspension and maintenance neglect. In 2024, the front lower suspension arm bushes were noted as worn, and in 2023, there were several minor but cumulative issues including low power steering fluid, low engine oil, an insecure battery, and a defective exhaust mounting. While these were addressed to pass the MOT, they suggest a history of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The vehicle's condition appears to be stable but is showing the typical wear associated with a 16-year-old car. The recurring issues with tyres and suspension components indicate that consumables are reaching the end of their life cycle. Before purchasing, you should inspect the condition of all four tyres and check for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues.
