2010 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · GL59 RCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 120,558 miles shows a pass following an initial failure for a nearside front position lamp and a worn offside front suspension arm bush. While the vehicle passed, the records reveal a recurring pattern of neglected consumable items and minor mechanical defects, suggesting the owner only addresses faults once they result in an MOT failure. At 120,558 miles over sixteen years, the car has averaged approximately 7,535 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between September 2024 and September 2025, and another 8,000 miles between September 2023 and 2024. This consistent use suggests the car is driven regularly, though age-related wear on rubber components and braking systems is inevitable. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, specifically the offside front lower arm bushes which were flagged in 2025. The history also shows repeated issues with tyre management, with multiple advisories and failures for treads reaching or exceeding the 1.6mm limit in 2023 and 2024. The brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2023, so a check of the current thickness and condition of the discs and pads is essential. Given the frequent failures for lighting bulbs, a full test of all exterior light circuits is necessary to ensure no other hidden faults remain.
