2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FL10 EKP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 August 2025 at 232,859 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in the last two years. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test but passed the very following day, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing minor defects quickly to secure a retest pass. At sixteen years old, this Ford Focus has accumulated 232,859 miles, averaging approximately 14,554 miles per year. This high-mileage profile indicates heavy annual use, which places significant stress on all mechanical components. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 12,666 miles, followed by a further 16,381 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This consistent high mileage suggests the vehicle remains in regular use, meaning the drivetrain and suspension are nearing their terminal service lives. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system, as the high mileage often leads to perished rubber bushes, worn coil springs, and thinning brake discs. While the recent records show no advisories, the age and mileage of the vehicle make structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe a primary concern. Look for any signs of oil leaks around the engine and gearbox, as the cumulative mileage often correlates with the degradation of seals and gaskets in this generation of Focus.
