2010 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · FD59 ABN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 12 February 2026 at 120,630 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failure followed by rapid re-testing. In both February 2025 and February 2026, the car failed its initial test but passed exactly one day later after repairs were made. This suggests the previous owner is reactive rather than proactive, addressing specific faults only when necessary to pass the legal test requirement rather than adhering to a strict preventative service schedule. At 120,630 miles over 16 years, this Ford Focus has averaged approximately 7,539 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation over the last two years, moving from 116,033 miles in February 2024 to 118,146 miles in 2025, and finally to 120,630 miles in early 2026. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is driven regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which helps prevent internal component degradation and brake seizing despite the relatively low mileage. Despite the clean result of the most recent certificate, the recurring failures in the previous years necessitate a thorough physical inspection of common Ford Focus wear points. A buyer should scrutinize the suspension components, specifically the rear wish arm bushes and bolts, which are frequent points of failure on this generation. Given the vehicle's age, a close look at the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure corrosion has not progressed undetected. Additionally, checking for binding calipers or uneven brake wear will ensure the issues that caused the recent failures have been properly rectified.
