2010 Ford Focus 1.8L Diesel · WM59 FNO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 1, 2026, at 91,225 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent lapse into reactive rather than proactive care. The car failed just two days prior on April 29, 2026, due to multiple critical tyre failures including exposed cords and structural cuts, alongside a deficient washer system. While these issues were rectified immediately, the failure suggests the current owner only addresses faults when legally compelled by the MOT tester. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 91,225 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,700 miles per year. This low usage often masks less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain but can lead to degradation of rubber-based components through age. Between April 2025 and April 2026, the vehicle covered over 6,500 miles, indicating a recent increase in usage compared to previous years where the mileage growth was lower, roughly 5,500 miles annually between 2023 and 2024. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry closely, as the 2025 advisories noted three tyres worn unevenly on the edges. This pattern typically indicates incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes and control arm joints. Given the recent failure for multiple structural tyre defects, the age and condition of the remaining rubber should be verified for sidewalling or perished rubber consistent with the vehicle's age. Additionally, a physical inspection should check for surface corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from environmental rust if left stationary for long periods.
