2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · KP10 HSD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of structural degradation. While it passed its latest test in November 2025 at 112,224 miles, it had failed earlier that same day due to an incorrectly coloured indicator and recurring corrosion issues. The primary concern is the rear sub-frame, which has been flagged for corrosion in every recorded test since 2023, indicating that the rust is advancing despite not reaching a failure threshold. At 16 years old, the recorded 112,224 miles represent an average usage of approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate driving. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 2,000 miles covered between October 2023 and November 2024, and another 2,470 miles leading up to the most recent test. This steady mileage suggests the car is used regularly, which often helps prevent the accelerated perish of rubber components compared to a stationary vehicle. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and mounting points to determine the depth of the corrosion. The record shows that in 2023, both rear suspension arms were also noted for corrosion, suggesting the lower chassis components of this Focus are susceptible to environmental damage. You should also verify that the ABS fault, which caused a failure in 2023, has been properly rectified and that no secondary warning lights remain on the dashboard during operation.
