2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · CE10 RNJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on 04 June 2024 at 144,798 miles passed with no defects recorded, which follows a technical failure just ten days prior on 24 May 2024 at 144,741 miles. Since the failure recorded no specific defects, it likely represented an administrative error or a minor item that was rectified immediately. Beyond this brief anomaly, the consistent pass record across the last five years suggests a level of consistent mechanical upkeep by the owner. At 144,798 miles over 16 years, the car has averaged approximately 9,050 miles per annum. This aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The record shows steady mileage progression, with roughly 5,600 miles covered between January 2021 and February 2022, and another 6,600 miles between February 2022 and April 2023. This regular usage indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary, which often leads to seized seals and brake corrosion, though the high mileage still places significant demand on the drivetrain and suspension components. Because the MOT history shows no recurring structural failures or mechanical defects, a physical inspection should focus on age-related wear common to high-mileage Ford Focus. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often perish at this mileage bracket. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches is essential, as the MOT test only identifies structural rust once it reaches a point of failure. Testing for binding calipers or thinning brake discs will also ensure that the clean MOT history reflects the actual current state of the braking system.
