2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AV60 WMZ

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the 18 May 2026 MOT, passing at 179,615 miles. The recent pass follows a failure on 11 May 2026 that highlighted front‑wheel bearing roughness, a fractured front coil spring and excessive wear on several suspension arm pins. The shift from failure to pass indicates an improving maintenance pattern, yet the persistent note on rear suspension arm pins and bushes being worn, though not causing excessive movement, points to a component that remains marginal. Mileage has risen from 174,253 miles on 28 April 2025 to 179,615 miles on 18 May 2026, an increase of roughly 5,300 miles in a little over a year. This equates to about 11,200 miles per annum over the car’s 16‑year life, which is within normal usage for a vehicle of this age. No large mileage gaps appear in the record, suggesting relatively consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity that could conceal hidden deterioration. A prospective buyer should focus on the rear suspension bush and pin wear noted in the 2024, 2026‑May and earlier tests; the condition may soon require replacement to avoid progressive play. The fractured front coil spring flagged on 11 May 2026 should be inspected for proper repair, and the rough front wheel bearing should be confirmed as resolved. Tyre edges were close to the legal limit in April 2025 and show slight cracking on all four wheels, so a full tyre inspection is advisable. Corroded rear coil springs and the anti‑roll bar linkage pin wear recorded in 2024 also merit visual checks. Finally, verify that headlamp aim and reversing lamp functions, previously failed, have been correctly rectified.
