2010 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · LA59 FPX

The vehicle currently presents as a roadworthy asset, following a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 June 2025 at 131,967 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems met the minimum legal standards. While the car suffered a failure in June 2024, the immediate passing result two days later suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified issues to maintain legal operation. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,250 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation of use, with 17,258 miles covered between August 2022 and June 2023, and another 10,340 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. This regularity suggests consistent use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and braking components, though the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of natural degradation in rubber hoses and bushings. Despite the clean record of the two most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points for this generation of Ford Focus. The buyer must examine the underbody for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear suspension mounting points and sills which often degrade at this age. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and looking for play in the front control arms is essential, as these components frequently wear out before triggering a formal MOT failure.
