2010 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · EX60 EOL

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 1 April 2026 at 63,616 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows a trend of clean passes over the previous four years, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters without recurring failures or escalating degradation flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of minimal use between July 2022 and January 2023, where the car covered only 79 miles in six months. Since the February 2024 test, usage increased slightly, covering 696 miles over two years leading up to the 2026 inspection. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has avoided significant drivetrain-related wear, though it raises the possibility of issues associated with rubber component aging and long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas affected by low-mileage storage rather than mechanical fatigue. Inspect the condition of the rubber components, including suspension bushes, engine mounts, and brake lines, for signs of cracking or perish rot which occurs when a car sits stationary. Given the age, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low use often prevents the pads from cleaning them effectively. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as the MOT record does not always capture early-stage surface rust before it reaches a point of failure.
