2010 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · EK10 AEM

The 2010 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 42,778 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2023 to 2025 also show clean sheets. The single failure on 2 March 2024 at 40,797 miles listed no defects, with the vehicle passing three days later on 5 March 2024 at 40,795 miles, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a genuine fault. Recorded mileage sits at 42,778 against sixteen years of age, an average of roughly 2,674 miles per year. The car covered only 2,126 miles between the March 2023 test at 40,652 miles and the March 2025 test at 41,082 miles, then added 1,696 miles to the March 2026 reading. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods. The MOT data itself is sparse and clean, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition. Long idle spells accelerate perished rubber components and hidden corrosion even when testers record no advisories. Check coil springs, brake calipers for binding after standing, and fuel system condition given the light use pattern. The absence of recurring faults points to a previous owner who kept the vehicle lightly used and presented it for timely annual testing. No worsening mechanical trend exists in the record. Verify service history matches the low mileage, as gaps in maintenance matter more than mileage on a car of this age.
