2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · RJ10 FMM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 11 January 2025 at 112,629 miles. This most recent inspection resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, suggesting that the maintenance trend has improved significantly compared to the two preceding years. The previous history shows a pattern of failing initial inspections due to neglected minor electrical and consumable items, but the current status indicates that these issues have been rectified and the vehicle is presently in a stable roadworthy condition. The recorded mileage of 112,629 over sixteen years averages to approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical light domestic usage for a Ford Focus of this vintage. A notable jump in mileage occurred between January 2023 and January 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 12,000 miles, followed by a much lower usage period of approximately 1,250 miles leading up to the most recent test in early 2025. This recent reduction in annual mileage suggests the car may have seen less frequent use or has been stored for extended periods over the last eighteen months. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and lighting systems, as these were recurring points of failure in the 2023 and 2024 records. Specifically, check the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage, which was flagged for play in consecutive years, to ensure the component has been replaced rather than ignored. Given the previous history of headlamp lens clouding and electrical faults involving stop and fog lamps, verify that all lighting units are clear, correctly aligned, and fully functional. While the brakes were previously noted as wearing thin, the current clean pass implies they have been serviced, though a visual check of the disc surfaces and pad thickness remains prudent to confirm their current state.
