2010 Ford Focus 2.0L Petrol · SH10 XBO

The Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 14 March 2025 at 83,235 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and the prior failure on 13 March 2025 at 83,211 miles recorded no defects either, indicating the failure stemmed from administrative or non-mechanical grounds rather than a fault the tester identified. Recorded mileage sits at 83,235 against a 2010 build, an average of roughly 5,200 miles per year and low for the age. The gap between the 22 November 2022 test at 61,165 miles and the 8 March 2024 failure at 64,463 miles shows only 3,298 miles added in fifteen months, suggesting periods of limited use. From March 2024 to March 2025 the car covered 18,772 miles, a sharper annualised rise yet still moderate. The MOT data carries no advisories or defects across any entry, so the record itself is sparse and clean. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the low-mileage-and-standing pattern can mask perished rubbers or corroded brake components not captured in a defect-free test. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants a visual check for corrosion, as sixteen years of age invites rust even where the tester logged nothing. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass sequence in both 2024 and 2025 with zero defects implies previous owners addressed paperwork or presentation issues promptly rather than neglecting mechanical care. Verify the vehicle has not stood unused for long stretches that could degrade fluids and seals beyond what the MOT reflects.
