2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · RJ60 AFU

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, with the most recent test on 23 October 2025 resulting in a pass following a failure the previous day. The record indicates a trend of intermittent failures, specifically in October 2024 and October 2025, where the vehicle failed its initial inspection before passing on a retest. While the most recent result shows no recorded defects, the repeated failure pattern suggests that certain mechanical or safety components require attention shortly after testing. The recorded mileage of 42,817 miles is notably low for a 2010 vehicle, averaging approximately 2,676 miles per year. The MOT entries show a relatively consistent annual testing cycle, with tests occurring in January 2024, October 2024, and October 2025. This low annual usage can sometimes lead to issues associated with vehicles that spend extended periods stationary, such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber components, or degraded fluids, though the MOT record itself does not explicitly detail these specific conditions. Because the failure details were not recorded in the provided data, a physical inspection is necessary to identify the recurring issues that caused the failures in October 2024 and October 2025. A buyer should specifically examine the braking system for binding calipers or worn pads, the suspension for perished bushes or leaking dampers, and the underside for structural corrosion. Given the low mileage, checking the condition of tyres for age-related cracking and ensuring the battery and fuel system are functional due to potential long periods of inactivity is also advisable. Buying Score: 55 Risk Level: Medium.
