2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FH10 EWK

The 2010 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 167,709 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 18 October 2024 at 153,592 miles. The only blemish is a failed test on 17 October 2024 at the same mileage, where the DVSA system logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational failure rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year record from 2022 to 2025, the vehicle cleared every completed examination without advisories. Annual mileage averages around 10,482 against the 16-year lifespan, a typical figure for this age of car. The records show steady accumulation: 125,420 miles in October 2022, 140,770 in October 2023, 153,592 in October 2024, and 167,709 in October 2025. The gaps between tests are consistent at roughly twelve months, with no standing periods or sudden jumps that would suggest neglected storage or hard commercial use. The clean slip history points to routine upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high absolute mileage and age. The absence of advisories across the record means no corrosion, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers were flagged, but MOT cleanliness at 167,000 miles does not certify component life remaining. Verify the 17 October 2024 failure cause with the test station, as the nil-defect entry is unusual. Check structural integrity underneath for rust not caught in the annual test, and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition as consumables near end of life at this mileage.
