Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Prioritise a thorough underside inspection. The history shows a progression of corrosion from sills in 2023 and 2024 to the rear sub-frame and suspension arms in 2025. You should negotiate the price downwards to account for the likely upcoming need for suspension repairs and corrosion treatment.
Request evidence of any recent work carried out to rectify the 2025 MOT failures, specifically regarding the brake discs, suspension bushes, and coil springs. Given the history of 'child seat fitted' advisories in previous years, ensure the belts have been fully inspected for any hidden damage or restriction.
The 1596cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band for a vehicle of this age. Fuel economy for a 2010 Focus is typically average for a non-diesel hatchback of this era.
However, maintenance costs may be higher than expected due to the documented frequency of suspension and brake component replacements. Budget for regular underside maintenance to manage the ongoing corrosion issues noted in the MOT history.
Focus heavily on the vehicle's structural and suspension integrity. The MOT history specifically highlights corrosion on the sills (2023, 2024) and the rear sub-frame (2025). Check for any signs of bubbling paint or surface rust on the sills and wheel arches.
Inspect the front suspension area for worn bushes and the rear for corroded coil springs, both of which were flagged in the August 2025 test. Additionally, check the condition of the brake discs, as the 2025 record noted pitted and scored front inner discs.
This 2010 black Ford Focus 1.6 petrol has covered 83,013 miles, which is higher than the model's average annual mileage of 6,869. While it has passed its recent tests, the MOT records reveal persistent issues with corrosion on the sills, sub-frame, and suspension components. The most recent test in August 2025 follows a failure involving multiple suspension and braking issues.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.1% MOT pass rate, with corrosion and headlamps being common failure reasons.
