2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FP10 XBF

The Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 2025-05-02 at 98,065 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the test history reveals a peculiar pattern of immediate pass-fail cycles rather than progressive deterioration. The vehicle cleared its most recent examination cleanly, indicating no outstanding advisories or structural concerns at the time of testing. Recorded mileage stands at 98,065 against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 6,129 miles per year which is typical for the age. The odometer moved from 80,423 miles at the April 2022 test to 92,150 at the November 2023 failure, then 92,226 the next day on the pass, and 98,065 by April 2025. A fourteen-month gap separates the 2022 and 2023 tests, after which the record becomes dense with same-week retests. The clean sheets across all five entries suggest either diligent upkeep or, given the fail-pass pairs, administrative anomalies rather than genuine fault correction. The April 2025 failure at 98,065 miles and the November 2023 failure at 92,150 miles both list no defects, which points to documentation or procedural issues rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's sixteen-year age. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt a car of this vintage from hidden structural fatigue or worn consumables. Prior to purchase, verify the V5C logbook against the MOT anomaly dates and confirm whether the failed tests reflected genuine presentation errors. Examine exhaust emissions, tyre sidewalls, and subframe integrity in person, as the DVSA data offers no visibility into components not tested on the day.
