2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FL10 HTT

The 2010 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 99,381 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in July 2024 and July 2023 also closed as passes. The record shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the observed period, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening condition cycle. Recorded mileage sits at 99,381 against a 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,211 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The test on 19 July 2023 at 92,117 miles, the retest on 27 July 2024 at 96,106 miles, and the final entry on 26 September 2025 at 99,381 miles show smooth, low annual accumulation with no gaps or sudden jumps. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns logged at any stage. The failed entries dated 19 July 2023 and 27 July 2024 both show zero defects recorded, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault on the car. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age, as MOT absence of advisories does not confirm component life remaining. Pre-purchase checks should target underside corrosion and exhaust condition, with particular attention to any binding calipers from prolonged low use. The low yearly mileage suggests lighter wear on drivetrain consumables, but standing periods can accelerate rubber perishing and fluid degradation not captured by the MOT record.
