Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but consider this a viable option for high-mileage drivers. While the recent MOT history shows no defects, the vehicle's high mileage requires a thorough mechanical inspection.
When viewing this Focus, prioritize checking the service history for oil changes, which are critical for the 1560cc diesel engine. Because the mileage is high, you should specifically ask for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are standard maintenance items for this engine type at this interval.
Negotiate based on the high mileage; while the recent MOTs are clear, the vehicle is well into its life cycle. Ensure you check the condition of the turbocharger and clutch, as these components often show wear around the 150,000-mile mark.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Focus is designed for efficiency on longer journeys. Fuel economy should be relatively good, though actual figures will depend on the condition of the fuel system and exhaust components.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2010 1.6 diesel are typically mid-range. Expect maintenance costs to be influenced by the high mileage, with potential requirements for suspension components or braking systems as the vehicle continues to age.
While the most recent MOT in April 2025 recorded no defects, the history shows failures in previous years. You should inspect the tyres and headlamps specifically, as these are common failure points for this model according to aggregate data.
Given the 164,704 miles recorded, check for signs of corrosion on the underside and around the wheel arches. Additionally, listen for any unusual noises from the diesel engine or turbocharger during a test drive to ensure the high mileage hasn't led to significant mechanical wear.
This 2010 silver Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi has covered 164,704 miles as of its last MOT in April 2025. The MOT history shows a pattern of recent passes, including a clean result in 2025, though it has experienced failures in 2023 and 2024. Given its age and diesel engine, the vehicle has been driven significantly more than the model average of 6,873 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.1% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to tyres, headlamps, and corrosion.
