2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FH10 LUW

The 2010 Ford Focus has not undergone an MOT test since February 2024, despite being over 16 years old. The most recent record shows a pass and a fail on the same date and mileage (169,609 miles), which is unusual and may indicate administrative errors or repeated testing without resolution. No defects were recorded in these tests, but the absence of subsequent evaluations raises concerns about the vehicle’s current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend lacks clarity due to the extended gap between assessments, though prior tests from 2022 and 2023 showed no critical issues. Mileage progression aligns with an average of 10,601 miles annually, which is typical for the vehicle’s age. The 2022-2024 records show a steady increase from 162,709 to 169,609 miles, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. However, the lack of MOT data post-2024 means the vehicle’s condition since then remains unverified. The 2023 test at 166,509 miles and the 2022 test at 162,710 miles both passed without defects, suggesting the car was maintained to a baseline standard in earlier years. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components often degrade in older vehicles. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural issues in MOTs is positive, but physical checks for rust on the chassis and wheel arches are advised. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes should be examined for wear, as these are common failure points in high-mileage cars. The lack of recent MOT data means the vehicle’s current compliance with safety standards cannot be confirmed.
