Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of recurring suspension-related wear. The most recent test in June 2025 at 104,292 miles passed with an advisory for an offside rear inner tyre worn to the legal limit. This follows a failure in June 2024 due to a fractured offside front coil spring. While the immediate mechanical failures have been addressed, the persistence of suspension advisories suggests that components are reaching the end of their service life. At a recorded mileage of 104,292 miles over 16 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,518 miles per year. This figure is consistent with typical usage for a car of this age. The records show consistent annual testing, with entries appearing in June 2023, 2024, and 2025. This regularity suggests no significant gaps in testing history, though the low annual mileage may imply periods of stationary use. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension assemblies. The record flags specific issues with the offside front suspension arm bush in 2023 and the offside rear anti-roll bar ball joint in 2024. These components should be checked for excessive play or rubber degradation. Additionally, the surface corrosion noted on the front and rear brake discs in 2023 requires an evaluation to ensure the rust has not progressed into structural pitting that would affect braking performance. Buying score: 58 Risk level: Medium.

Our Verdict

Proceed with confidence, but verify recent maintenance. This 2010 Ford Focus has a clean recent MOT record and mileage that aligns well with its age.

When viewing this vehicle, check the service history to ensure the issues that caused the 2023 and 2024 MOT failures were properly addressed. Although the most recent MOT in June 2025 recorded no defects, it is always wise to ask for documentation regarding any repairs made following those previous failures.

Given the 2.0L engine size, ensure the timing belt (cambelt) has been replaced according to Ford's recommended intervals, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine variant. Also, check the condition of the tyres and headlamps, as these are common failure points for the Focus model across the wider dataset.

As a 2.0L petrol model, running costs will be moderate compared to smaller-capacity Focus variants. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and load, but you should expect typical mid-range hatchback consumption.

Insurance groups for a 2010 Focus vary, but the 2.0L engine typically sits in a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for routine wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes, which are frequent MOT considerations for this model type.

Focus models are statistically prone to issues with tyres, headlamps, and corrosion. During your inspection, check the tread depth and condition of all tyres and ensure the headlamp lenses are clear and not significantly oxidised.

Because the MOT history shows failures in 2023 and 2024, inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of structural corrosion. While the 2025 MOT passed with no defects, a physical inspection of the suspension components and brake lines is recommended to ensure everything remains in good order.

This white 2.0L petrol Ford Focus (BJ60RWY) shows a consistent MOT history over the last few years. While it experienced two failures in 2023 and 2024, both were resolved quickly, resulting in clean passes in the most recent two tests. With 104,292 miles on the clock, it is a well-used example of this model.

The Ford Focus has an average MOT pass rate of 79.0% based on over one million vehicles analysed, with common failures linked to tyres, lighting, and corrosion.
