2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · WP10 YEE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 22 September 2025 at 108,105 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. While the car has passed its recent inspections, the recurring mention of slight underbody corrosion suggests that the structural integrity requires closer scrutiny as the vehicle ages. The maintenance trend remains consistent, though the transition from a clean record in 2022 to the accumulation of minor advisories indicates that the car is now entering a phase where age-related degradation is becoming more frequent. The recorded mileage of 108,105 miles over sixteen years averages out to approximately 6,757 miles per annum, which is well within standard expectations for a vehicle of this age. A notable shift in usage occurred between September 2021 and September 2022, where the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles, followed by a significant reduction in annual mileage thereafter. The drop to less than 200 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the car may have seen limited use or extended periods of inactivity recently, which can often lead to seized components or accelerated surface corrosion. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the vehicle underside, specifically targeting the areas flagged for corrosion in the last three consecutive tests. Although the application of underseal in 2023 was a proactive step, it can sometimes mask deeper structural decay, so checking for flaking or brittle metal near suspension mounting points is essential. The history of a deteriorated CV boot and a corroded coil spring highlights the vulnerability of the suspension and drivetrain, meaning a physical check for play in the joints and any uneven ride height is necessary to ensure the running gear remains sound.
