Ford Focus Titanium Tdci 109 (2010)
2010 Ford Focus Titanium Tdci 109
CarHunch analysed 100 real MOT records for the 2010 Ford Focus Titanium Tdci 109. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2010 Ford Focus Titanium TDCi 109 is a reliability concern: just 40.6% pass first time against the UK average of 80%, meaning nearly six in ten fail their MOT. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so failures tend to be fixable rather than safety-critical.
At 123,000 miles median, these cars are showing their age appropriately for a 2010 model, but the 0.61 average failures per vehicle suggests persistent mechanical wear — typically suspension, exhaust, and brake issues on this generation. Before buying one, budget for imminent repairs and get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the suspension and emissions system, as that's where money tends to go.
What to check before buying a 2010 Ford Focus Titanium Tdci 109
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
