2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · WN10 AEA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-03-14 at 113,376 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the prior year’s records reveal inconsistencies: a failed test on 2024-03-14 at 105,753 miles, followed by a pass the next day at the same mileage. This suggests either a technical error during the failed test or a minor issue resolved rapidly. No defects were recorded in either case, implying the car has not shown persistent mechanical or structural concerns in its final MOT cycle. The mileage progression aligns with an average annual usage of 7,086 miles, typical for a 16-year-old vehicle. The 2023-03-16 tests at 98,158 miles included a pass and a fail with no defects, mirroring the 2024 pattern. These records lack detailed fault descriptions, making it difficult to assess underlying issues. The absence of advisories or critical failures in recent tests suggests the car has been maintained to a basic standard, though the repeated failed tests at identical mileages raise questions about testing accuracy or transient faults. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the car’s age and mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often degrade over time. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel damage may not register in MOT records. While the vehicle appears roadworthy, the MOT history’s ambiguity necessitates a physical examination to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
