2010 Ford Focus 2.0L Diesel · CV10 KTL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative maintenance. The most recent test in February 2026 at 102,358 miles passed after an initial failure related to incorrect headlight aim and low intensity on rear stop lamps. While these are operational lighting issues rectified on-site, the recurrence of failures across multiple years suggests that the vehicle is only brought up to legal standard when strictly necessary for the MOT test itself. At 102,358 miles, this 16-year-old vehicle has averaged approximately 6,400 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests a light-use profile, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered roughly 7,000 miles, showing consistent but modest usage patterns. However, the low mileage does not Prevent age-related degradation of rubber components and metalwork, which is evident in the recorded findings. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and suspension assembly. The 2025 test at 93,235 miles flagged corrosion on the rear sub-frame and suspension components; while noted as not seriously weakened at that time, structural rust on these Ford models is progressive and should be monitored for thinning metal or scaling. Additionally, the worn nearside front suspension arm bush noted in 2024 indicates that the suspension is reaching the end of its service life. Check for similar wear on the offside arm and ensure the integrity of all mounting points to avoid future mechanical failures.
