2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · AY60 XKA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 119,035 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day that was immediately rectified. This lack of recurring advisories or failures across several years suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard without significant mechanical neglect or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,440 miles per annum. Between August 2022 at 98,531 miles and August 2025 at 119,035 miles, the car covered 20,504 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden spikes. This regular usage is generally beneficial for rubber components, seals, and brake-related parts, as it prevents the dry-rot and corrosion-related deactivation often seen in lower-mileage vehicles. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should still focus their physical inspection on common failure points for this generation of Ford Focus. Given the mileage, a close look at the front suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these components often show wear despite a clean history. The buyer should also inspect the structural integrity of the rear arches and sills for corrosion, as the MOT only identifies surface rust once it reaches a specific safety threshold. The braking system appears well maintained, having passed the most recent test ten months ago without any notes of binding calipers or uneven pad wear.
