2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WN10 ADZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 28 May 2025 at 78,255 miles resulted with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of clean passes since a single failure in May 2022, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed any initial issues and has maintained the vehicle to a passing standard recently. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Between May 2023 and May 2025, the car covered 13,825 miles, showing a consistent and moderate usage rate rather than erratic bursts. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the age of the vehicle suggests that time may have caused the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and engine seals, regardless of the low distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage-related wear. Given the clean MOT history, the structural integrity of the rear arches and sills should be checked for hidden corrosion, which often develops on older Focus models that sit for long periods. Inspect the brake system for seized calipers or perished rubber hoses, as low usage can lead to surface rust on the discs. Additionally, the suspension should be examined for cracking in the bushings to ensure the vehicle remains tight despite the lack of high mileage.
