2010 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · YP60 RCV

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT certificate issued on 31 December 2024 at 134,046 miles, indicating a stable and improving maintenance trend. While the car failed its inspections in both 2022 and 2023, the most recent test shows no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owner addressed the recurring issues identified in earlier cycles, moving from a pattern of neglect to a compliant state of roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 134,046 over sixteen years averages out to approximately 8,378 miles per annum, which is entirely typical for a vehicle of this age and class. The usage pattern appears consistent, with annual increments of roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles between 2022 and 2024. There are no signs of long-term storage or excessive high-mileage abuse, suggesting the vehicle has been used as a standard daily driver throughout its service life. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and tyre wear patterns, as the 2023 test highlighted significant uneven tyre wear across three corners. This often points to neglected tracking or worn suspension bushes and ball joints, which may have been corrected but warrant a close look at the inner edges of the current tyres. Additionally, verify the headlamp aim and electrical integrity of the registration plate lamps, as these components failed in previous years and can be prone to intermittent issues on this chassis. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the sills and subframe for corrosion is advisable, as these areas are common failure points for the Ford Focus platform that may not always be captured in a standard test.
