2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WM59 EFY

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, showing a stable maintenance trend following a previous failure. The most recent test in February 2026 at 107,330 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in prior years have been addressed. Since the clean pass in October 2024, the car has maintained this standard of compliance without any new advisories or failures being flagged. The mileage pattern is consistent with light usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between July 2022 at 100,200 miles and June 2023 at 106,570 miles, where the car covered over 6,000 miles in a single year. However, the accumulation has slowed considerably recently, with only 760 miles recorded between the last two tests. This low annual mileage suggests infrequent use, which typically reduces wear on rubber components and drivetrain-related parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, given the June 2023 failure for an excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. While this was rectified, the low-frequency driving can sometimes lead to degradation of bushings and brake caliper seals over time. The headlamp alignment should also be verified to ensure the previous adjustment remains accurate and the units have shifted. Given the age of the Focus, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as the MOT record does not detail the progression of surface rust.
