2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FL10 CWC

The 2010 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 January 2026 at 103,814 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual passes in January 2025 and January 2024 also showed clean results. The vehicle currently holds a valid test with no outstanding advisories. Recorded mileage sits at 103,814 against a 16-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,488 miles per year which is typical for the age. The DVSA log shows steady annual accumulation: 92,846 miles on 4 January 2024, 98,583 on 14 January 2025, and 103,814 on 8 January 2026. Two failed tests appear on 3 January 2024 and 11 January 2025, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes one day later, with no defects listed. This pattern indicates administrative or presentational failures rather than mechanical faults, and the owner corrected them within 24 hours. The absence of recorded advisories across all five entries means the tester flagged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding calipers, or exhausted brake discs at the tested mileages. A clean sheet at 103,814 miles on a 16-year-old vehicle suggests reasonable upkeep, though MOT passes only capture failures at the test threshold. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis legs, subframe, and sills for corrosion not yet at the fail limit, and verify suspension arm bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking. Check brake disc thickness and tyre sidewall condition in person, as these consumables degrade between tests without triggering advisories. The rapid re-test after both failures warrants confirmation the correct vehicle was presented, though no defect data contradicts the record.
