2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · SB10 AEZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The August 2025 MOT pass at 67,600 miles indicates the car met all regulatory standards with no defects recorded. While the record shows two failures in August 2023 and August 2025, these appear to be administrative or minor non-compliance issues rather than a trend of worsening mechanical degradation, as the vehicle cleared the testing requirements immediately following each failure. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging approximately 4,225 miles per year. The progression from 62,442 miles in August 2023 to 67,600 miles in August 2025 shows a consistent, albeit light, usage pattern. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used primarily for short-distance trips, which can sometimes lead to specific maintenance issues despite the low odometer reading. A physical inspection should focus on components that suffer from age rather than mileage. Given the low usage, the buyer should check for perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, drive shafts, and tyre sidewalls, which often crack when a vehicle sits for long periods. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the battery health, as infrequent use can lead to charging system issues or battery degradation. The absence of advisories in the recent history is a positive indicator of the vehicle's current condition. However, because the MOT record does not detail the specific reasons for the two failures, a thorough check of the underbody for structural corrosion and the exhaust system for leaks remains necessary. The vehicle appears to be a well-maintained example of low-mileage usage, provided the owner has addressed the underlying causes of the previous failures.
