Our Verdict
A practical and average-mileage example
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritize the suspension. The records from 2024 and 2025 show failures for anti-roll bar linkages and advisories for worn suspension arm pins and bushes; you should confirm whether these components were replaced or simply monitored. Request evidence of a timing belt and water pump change, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1.6L petrol engine that are not tracked via MOT records.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres. The nearside rear tyre was flagged as damaged or perishing in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting it may have been a persistent issue. Ensure the service history is documented, as the MOT history only confirms the vehicle met minimum safety standards at the time of testing.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides a balance of performance and economy typical for a 2010 family hatchback. Insurance groups for this model are generally moderate, and the vehicle falls into a standard tax bracket for its age and emissions profile.
Maintenance costs are likely to be average for a vehicle of this age, though the MOT history suggests a susceptibility to suspension wear. Expect annual costs to be influenced by the need for periodic replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres and bushings.
Pay close attention to the front and rear suspension. Specifically, check for any knocking or play in the anti-roll bar linkages and suspension arm bushes, which caused failures and advisories in 2024 and 2025. A test drive should be used to identify any unusual noises from the chassis over uneven surfaces.
Inspect all tyres for cracking or perishing, particularly the nearside rear, which has been a recurring point of concern in the MOT history. Finally, perform a full lighting check, including the dipped beams and position lamps, as these have previously failed the MOT test.
This white 2010 Ford Focus 1.6 petrol has recorded 109,535 miles, which aligns closely with the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history shows a series of failures and advisories primarily related to suspension linkages, tyre condition, and external lighting. While the most recent test in May 2026 was passed without defects, the previous two years indicate recurring maintenance needs.
The Ford Focus has an average MOT pass rate of 79.2%, with aggregate data showing that tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars are the most frequent points of failure.
