2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · EY60 NKS

The 2010 Ford Focus presents a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 81,957 miles recording zero defects. Every annual test from October 2021 through October 2025 has passed without a single advisory or failure, indicating diligent upkeep across multiple years. No recurring faults, corrosion notices, or mechanical deterioration have been flagged by any tester during this five-year window. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of light, steady use. Between October 2021 at 72,359 miles and October 2025 at 81,957 miles, the vehicle covered just 9,598 miles over four years, averaging roughly 2,400 miles annually in that period. Earlier years show slightly higher but still modest use, with the car reaching 72,359 miles by its October 2021 test at approximately eleven years old. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record, and the annual testing pattern confirms the car has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still inspect the underside for surface corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and suspension mounting points, as these can develop on a sixteen-year-old vehicle even with low mileage. The front suspension lower arms and rear beam bushes deserve close attention, along with the condition of the exhaust system and its mountings, since age-related deterioration can precede an MOT failure. Tyre age and sidewall condition should also be checked, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The braking system, while consistently passing, warrants a physical check for disc thickness, pad wear, and caliper operation, particularly given the low annual mileage that can lead to uneven pad deposits or seized sliding mechanisms. A short test drive will reveal any binding, pulling, or suspension knocks that static inspections might miss. Overall, the documented history strongly supports careful ownership, but the vehicle's age means a hands-on mechanical inspection remains essential before purchase.
