2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · DA10 VCJ

The 2010 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 112,014 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from June 2022 to June 2024 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly appears on 21 June 2023, when the vehicle failed and then passed on the same day at 105,807 miles with no defects listed in either entry, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,000 miles, in line with typical use for a 16 year old car. The records show steady accumulation: 103,069 miles in June 2022, 105,807 in June 2023, 108,861 in June 2024, and 112,014 in June 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps exist across the five year span, and the clean advisory history indicates the previous keeper kept the suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity within test limits without deferred consumable replacements surfacing as flags. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Sixteen years of age invites corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounts even when the tester logged no advisories. Check the coil springs and trailing arm bushes for age related fatigue, and confirm the braking system shows no binding calipers from standing periods between the low annual mileage. Given the same day fail and pass in June 2023 with zero defects, verify the V5C and DVSA portal to rule out a data recording error. Otherwise the history implies a lightly used, consistently presented example with no recurring mechanical trend requiring corrective action before purchase.
