2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LT60 AVB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent MOT history, with the most recent test on 10 September 2025 at 58,290 miles resulting in a pass. While the car has consistently passed its inspections, a recurring advisory regarding windscreen damage has appeared in four consecutive tests between August 2021 and September 2025. This suggests a lack of proactive glass replacement, though the tester deemed the damage non-critical for driver visibility. The mileage pattern confirms this is a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 3,643 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. The data shows steady, incremental increases in mileage, such as the 5,274-mile rise between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests. This low annual usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the long intervals between driving can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and steering components following the August 2023 advisory at 44,977 miles, which flagged slight play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the history of minor steering and tyre wear issues warrants a physical inspection of the front-end geometry and suspension bushes. The 2014 record of a damaged condenser and under-tray obscuring components suggests the underside has seen minor impact or debris exposure, so a visual check for corrosion or fluid leaks around the cooling system is advisable. The history shows a transition from a very clean record between 2015 and 2020 to more frequent minor advisories in recent years. This shift is common as vehicles age and consumables reach the end of their service life. Given the low mileage, the primary mechanical risks involve components that degrade through age rather than distance, specifically tyres and rubber seals. Ensure the tyres show even wear and that the windscreen damage has not progressed to a point of structural compromise.
