2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LR59 VJA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 November 2025 at 126,575 miles. The maintenance history shows a consistent pattern where the car fails an initial test but passes immediately upon re-test. This trend suggests that the previous owners are proactive in addressing identified defects to maintain legal compliance rather than allowing faults to persist. There are no recurring structural or major mechanical failures recorded over the last three years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test and December 2024 test, the car covered 11,651 miles, while it covered 7,938 miles in the following year leading up to the November 2025 test. This steady usage indicates regular road use, which is generally beneficial for vehicle components like seals and bushings compared to long periods of inactivity. The intervals between tests are regular, suggesting the vehicle has remained on a standard annual inspection schedule. While the record is clean of persistent advisories, a buyer must focus on common Ford Focus areas of failure for this age and mileage. Given the 126,000 mile mark, a physical inspection of the front suspension arm bushes and rear coil springs is essential as these often perish without notice. Check for corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust mounting points, as structural integrity often degrades over decades before failing an MOT. Since the recent tests showed no recorded defects, the buyer should still verify the brake fluid condition and inspect the brake discs to ensure no uneven wear or binding is developing between test intervals.
