2010 Ford Focus Style Tdci 1.6L Heavy oil · RJ10 FMD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the recent years. The most recent inspection in September 2025 at 139,788 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This trend of zero advisories suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to repairs, addressing the minor issues typically found on vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for an older diesel vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the records between June 2019 and January 2022, during which the car covered roughly 18,000 miles. Since early 2022, the usage has become more regular, with 2,237 miles recorded between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 5,220 miles covered in the following year. This steady accumulation suggests a predictable wear pattern which helps prevent premature degradation of the drivetrain and braking components. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to fatigue on 16-year-old Ford Focus models. Pay close attention to the control arm bushes and coil springs, as these often wear out without triggering an MOT failure until they are significantly compromised. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the sills and wheel arches for corrosion is necessary to ensure structural integrity has not begun to deteriorate. Additionally, inspecting the brake discs for signs of thinning or excessive pitting will confirm if the braking system is as well as the digital records currently suggest.
