2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · TM07 MJM

This Ford Focus demonstrates a remarkably consistent record of roadworthiness, maintaining a clean bill of health without any lingering advisories across its most recent three annual inspections. While the records show same-day failure and pass entries in 2023 and 2024, the absence of recorded defects suggests these were minor or administrative in nature, culminating in a completely clean pass on 27 October 2025. The recorded mileage of 81,657 miles is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,104 miles per year. This low annual accumulation suggests that the drivetrain and major mechanical assemblies have experienced significantly less wear than is typical for this age. Such a usage profile indicates the vehicle has likely spent extended periods stationary, meaning the mechanical state is more dependent on storage conditions than on operational wear. Because the MOT history is devoid of specific advisories regarding suspension or braking components, a physical inspection should focus on verifying this reported condition. During a test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension bushes or steering linkages that has not yet reached the threshold of an MOT failure. Further verification should include a check of the braking system for any pedal judder or pull to one side, ensuring the calipers are not binding. A visual inspection of the engine bay for oil misting and a check of the exhaust system for signs of structural corrosion will complement the clean DVSA record and confirm the vehicle's overall mechanical integrity.
