2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FY10 YSB

This 2010 Ford Focus has a relatively low mileage of approximately 87,993 miles, averaging only about 5,500 miles per year. While low mileage often suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can also imply the vehicle has spent long periods sitting idle, which frequently leads to rubber degradation and corrosion. The most recent MOT from October 2025 was a pass, but it highlights a recurring issue with tyre wear on the nearside front. Looking at the history, there is a clear pattern of suspension and tyre-related issues emerging. In late 2024, the car failed due to corroded coil springs, deteriorated anti-roll bar components, and tyres that were either worn or perishing. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening in terms of maintenance requirements. While the 2022 MOT was completely clean, the subsequent years have seen a steady increase in defects related to the suspension, tyres, and exhaust mountings. The fact that tyres are consistently being flagged as worn on the edges suggests potential underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. The low annual mileage is an ambiguous signal; it may mean the car has been lightly used, but the recorded corrosion on the springs and the cracking/perishing of the rear tyres are classic symptoms of a vehicle that has sat stationary for extended periods. Before purchasing, you must inspect the suspension components thoroughly to ensure the previously noted corrosion and anti-roll bar issues have been fully rectified.
