2010 Ford Focus 1.8L Petrol · TY54 ADS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on February 4 2026 at 92,074 miles. While a failure occurred just one day prior at 92,072 miles, the lack of recorded defects on either certificate suggests an administrative error or minor technicality rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2023, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisories or failures, indicating a consistent standard of maintenance by recent owners. At sixteen years old, the recorded mileage of 92,074 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,755 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent over recent years, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between February 2024 and January 2025, and another 5,000 miles leading into the 2026 tests. This low-intensity usage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-distance driving sometimes leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related decay rather than mileage-based wear. Given the vehicle's age, check the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as rust often develops on older Focus models. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or perishing, as these elements degrade over time regardless of low mileage. Additionally, verify the brake calipers for seized pistons or pitting, which can occur on cars that are not driven frequently.
