2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · CX10 AXS

The 2010 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 2 October 2025 at 81,720 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the prior annual tests show no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults. This indicates the vehicle has been presented in a condition acceptable for continued road use, with no escalating defect pattern across the supplied record. Recorded mileage stands at 81,720 against a 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,108 miles per year and marking the car as low-use for its age. The gap between the 26 July 2023 pass at 68,835 miles and the 24 September 2024 pass at 74,863 miles shows only 6,028 miles covered in just over thirteen months. From September 2024 to October 2025 the odometer rose a further 6,857 miles. Low annual accumulation suggests lighter commuting or periodic standing, though the sparse record gives no visibility of consumable intervals between tests. The September 2025 failure at 81,708 miles carries no recorded defect, with a pass issued six days later at 81,720 miles with no defects listed. This pattern points to an administrative or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical fault. A July 2023 failure also shows no defects, followed by a same-day pass, reinforcing that non-conformance was procedural rather than structural. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the limits of an MOT snapshot. The clean record offers no flag for these items, but sixteen years invite hidden wear not captured by pass outcomes. Verify service history to confirm fluids, timing belt, and tyre rotations were kept despite the low mileage.
