2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · BN10 SLU

The 2010 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 4 June 2025 at 161,970 miles with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests from 2023 through 2024 also returned passes with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not shown escalating mechanical concerns across its later service life. Recorded mileage rose from 136,153 at the May 2023 test to 149,617 by June 2024, then to 161,970 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 12,500 miles per year over the last two intervals, slightly above the lifetime average of 10,123 miles per year but consistent with typical daily use. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories logged on any pass, so the record gives little insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion. The May 2023 and May 2024 failures both list no defects recorded, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, and structural corrosion, as a 16-year-old car with 161,970 miles will likely show age-related degradation not captured by a clean MOT sheet. Given the absence of flagged items, the previous owner appears to have kept the car to a basic pass standard. Verify underbody integrity, exhaust condition, and tyre tread depth before purchase, since these areas commonly degrade silently between tests on higher-mileage Focus models.
