2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · TK10 GAS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection in November 2025 at 165,679 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure was recorded in November 2024, the immediate re-test at the same mileage suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults to maintain road legality. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,355 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage, with 8,578 miles driven between the November 2022 and November 2023 tests, and another 11,519 miles between November 2023 and November 2024. This regular usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which often leads to the degradation of rubber seals and the seizing of brake components. Given the high mileage and the clean nature of the most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related wear. A buyer must examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often perish after 150,000 miles. Attention should also be paid to potential structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT test only flags rust once it reaches a specific structural threshold. Checking for minor fluid leaks or excessive thinning of the brake discs remains advisable to ensure the recent pass reflects a well-maintained mechanical state rather than just the bare minimum.
