2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · MX10 OSU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 130,454 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean results suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the immediate mechanical failures or structural degradations that typically surface during annual inspections. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,153 miles per annum. Between the July 2021 test at 113,766 miles and the September 2025 test at 130,454 miles, the car covered 16,678 miles. This steady accumulation indicates typical annual use rather than extreme high-mileage-distance commuting or long periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized brake components or rubber-based component degradation in low-mileage cars. While the digital record is clean, the age of the Ford Focus necessitates a physical inspection of common wear points not captured by emissions tests. A buyer should examine the suspension components for perished bushes and worn front control arms, as these often fail without triggering an MOT failure until they become hazardous. Given the vehicle's age, checking for corrosion on the rear sills and brake mounting pans is essential to ensure structural integrity remains sound despite the lack of recorded advisories.
