2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · YC60 YCD

The 2010 Ford Focus presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 22 April 2026 at 98,211 miles with zero defects recorded. The previous test on 29 May 2025 at 95,181 miles also passed without any issues, indicating the vehicle currently meets all roadworthiness standards. The minor defects noted in 2024 appear to have been addressed promptly, reflecting a pattern of reactive but adequate upkeep by the current keeper. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 6,100 miles annually. Annual increments show consistent, low-mileage driving, moving from 88,841 miles in May 2023 to 91,651 miles in May 2024, then 95,181 miles in May 2025, and finally 98,211 miles in April 2026. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings, suggesting the car has been used regularly for short-to-medium distance commuting rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Although the recent MOTs are clean, the 2024 test at 91,651 miles flagged front brake pads wearing thin and an inoperative nearside registration plate lamp. A buyer should physically inspect the current condition of the front brake discs and pads, as the 2024 advisory suggests the consumables were nearing replacement and may now require attention given the subsequent 6,500 miles of use. The windscreen washer failure in May 2023 was a minor oversight, but checking the washer fluid pump and jet operation remains prudent. Given the vehicle's age and typical mileage, a thorough inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust system for corrosion is advisable, as these components often degrade on older Fords even when the MOT record remains otherwise unblemished.
