2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FP10 UDW

The 2010 Ford Focus presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 19 August 2025 at 137,551 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards on that date. While a failed test appeared on 31 July 2024 at 129,091 miles, the record curiously lists no specific defects for that failure. The car passed its retest just days later on 5 August 2024 with no faults noted, suggesting the issue was rectified promptly. This pattern implies a proactive approach to rectifying faults rather than neglecting them. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 8,600 miles annually. Between August 2022 and August 2023, the car covered 8,066 miles, followed by 8,268 miles over the next twelve months. The most recent year shows a slightly reduced accumulation of 8,069 miles up to the August 2025 test. There are no alarming gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of inactivity or severe neglect, and the consistent annual increments point to regular, steady use. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a 16-year-old vehicle approaching 140,000 miles. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components endure significant fatigue over this mileage. The brake discs and calipers require scrutiny for corrosion and binding, common issues that can develop between annual tests. Underbody structural integrity warrants a thorough check for corrosion, particularly on the sills and suspension mounts. Tyre condition and age should also be verified, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth.
