2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WM59 EFB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test in July 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates reactive rather than proactive care. The initial failure in July 2025 at 84,676 miles identified a binding nearside front service brake and a stop lamp wiring issue. These faults were rectified immediately to allow for a pass on the same day, suggesting the owner is willing to address safety-critical defects once flagged. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 84,676 miles represents a low annual average rate of approximately 5,300 miles. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, showing a gap of roughly 7,000 miles between 2024 and 2025, and another 6,500 miles the year prior. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber-based parts and brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the underbody structural integrity, as the July 2024 test flagged signs of corrosion at 72,602 miles. Given the age of the chassis, this rust should be examined closely on the sills and suspension mounts to ensure it has not become structural. The binding brake noted in the 2025 test also warrants a thorough check of the front caliper, slide pins, and disc surface to ensure no permanent seizing or uneven wear has occurred from the previous fault.
