2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FD10 AFE

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in June 2026 with 94,312 miles and no defects recorded. While the current status is clean, the historical maintenance trend reveals a persistent pattern of age-related degradation rather than mileage-induced wear. The trend appears stable in terms of passing, but the record shows recurring issues with rubber and metal components that require monitoring despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old Ford Focus, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the decade, moving from just 9,518 miles in 2013 to 94,312 miles in 2026. However, this low mileage correlates directly with the perishing of consumables, as evidenced by multiple entries for cracked and perished tyres noted in 2014, 2016, 2017, and most recently in 2023. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, as the tester flagged rusty suspension parts in consecutive test from 2023, 2024, and 2025. The 2022 failure involving a fractured offside front coil spring indicates that the metal components may be susceptible to corrosion or stress-related fatigue. Additionally, the rubber bushes on the lower suspension arms, noted as deteriorated in 2017, should be checked for further cracking or tearing, as low-use vehicles often suffer from dry rot over time rather than mechanical wear.
