2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FL10 BDF

The 2010 Ford Focus shows a roadworthy status as of the most recent test, passing on 29 September 2022 at 115,580 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only blemish being a failure on 26 September 2022 at 115,576 miles that listed no defects, followed three days later by a clean pass. This pattern suggests an administrative or presentation anomaly at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault, and no worsening condition is evident from the data. The recorded mileage of 115,580 against a 16-year lifespan equates to roughly 7,224 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this age. The gap between the 23 September 2021 test at 107,770 miles and the September 2022 tests shows only 7,810 miles added in twelve months, confirming light annual use. The record is sparse, with just three entries and no advisories or consumable wear flagged at any stage, so the history gives little insight into component condition beyond confirmation of passed roadworthiness. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related corrosion on structural members and suspension bushes, as the MOT record omits advisories that often appear on a 16-year-old Ford. The clean passes do not rule out worn coil springs or degraded brake discs hidden below failure thresholds. Given the four-year gap to the current date of July 2026, the absence of any test since September 2022 means the car has likely been idle or untested, raising the risk of perished rubber components and seized calipers from standing. Verify the reason for the September 2022 failure with no defects listed by requesting the DVSA test certificate, and commission a pre-purchase inspection focusing on underbody rust and brake binding before any sale proceeds.
