2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LA60 GKL

The overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, as evidenced by a single failed MOT test recorded on 2022-07-15 at 88,820 miles. This failure indicates a persistent mechanical issue that has not been resolved, meaning the vehicle does not meet the safety standards required for commercial or public road use. The MOT history shows a clear chronological trend of deterioration: the last successful test in 2025 was at 118,443 miles, followed by two consecutive failed tests in 2024 and 2023, culminating in the current failure at 88,820 miles. This sequence demonstrates that the vehicle has experienced a cumulative load of wear on critical systems, likely involving suspension components or brake assemblies, which has not been addressed through routine maintenance. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap in the vehicle's operational history. The vehicle has maintained only 100,188 miles since the most recent successful test in July 2025, whereas it was previously tested in 2024 and 2023 with significantly lower mileage. This abrupt increase in recorded miles between 2024-06-19 and 2023-07-13 suggests a lack of regular servicing or a shift in driving habits that accelerated wear. The rapid accumulation of miles over short intervals, combined with the fact that the vehicle has been tested at the same mileage in three different years, implies that the vehicle has been driven for an extended period without any major repairs or changes in driving conditions that would prevent accelerated degradation. Consequently, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. Given the history of a failed MOT, the car is likely to exhibit signs of corrosion, rust, or binding calipers that require professional assessment before delivery. There is a high probability that the vehicle has not undergone any major overhaul or suspension adjustment since the 2022 test, meaning the structural integrity of the chassis and the functional performance of the suspension and braking systems is at risk.
