2010 Ford Focus 1.4L Diesel · WN60 MYU

The most recent MOT test on 2025-03-15 confirms the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, though the preceding test on 2025-03-08—just seven days earlier—was a failure without any noted issues. This inconsistency suggests either a rare administrative oversight or a vehicle that narrowly avoided minor failings not captured in the official record. The pattern of passing tests in 2023 and 2024 without defects indicates a stable roadworthiness trend, though the abrupt retesting in early 2025 warrants scrutiny. No advisory notes or recurring faults appear in the available data, but the lack of defects in failures implies either a lenient tester or a vehicle that remains within tolerances despite its age. The recorded mileage of 63,028 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 3,939 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests—particularly the identical mileage (61,756) at both the 2024 failure and pass—suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for extended periods, as no meaningful mileage accumulation occurred between those dates. This pattern could indicate limited use, storage, or even potential mileage tampering, though no irregularities in the test dates themselves are evident. The absence of rapid mileage spikes also reduces concerns over excessive wear on high-stress components. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which often degrade gradually without immediate MOT failings. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle was stored for prolonged periods, as moisture can accelerate corrosion. Structural integrity—particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe—must be examined for corrosion, as rust in these areas can compromise safety without always triggering an MOT failure. Finally, the engine bay and underbody should be inspected for leaks or fluid contamination, as these issues may develop silently over time.
