2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FH10 BAU

The 2010 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness profile on paper, with the most recent test on 13 May 2024 at 108,006 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no worsening signals across the available history, and the vehicle carries a clean advisory slate at its last three examinations. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a sixteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,750 miles per year. The record moves from 97,500 miles on 27 April 2022 to 102,623 miles on 4 May 2023, then to 108,006 miles by 13 May 2024, reflecting low annual use with no abrupt jumps. A notable quirk appears on 4 May 2023, where the tester issued a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the DVSA data implies the previous keeper kept basic consumable and structural upkeep in order. The same-day fail-and-pass in 2023 with no defects listed offers no evidence of skipped maintenance such as worn tyres or binding calipers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust, as MOT passes at this age do not certify long-term condition beyond the test day. Verify the front suspension arms, exhaust emissions compliance, and rear brake freedom in person, since the sparse record leaves those components unexamined in writing.
