FORD FOCUS2011 · 1.6L Petrol

The 2011 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 27 May 2025 at 102,383 miles which recorded no defects. The three preceding annual passes from May 2022 through May 2024 also carried clean sheets, showing no advisories or escalating wear across a three-year span. Recorded mileage sits at 102,383 against an approximate 15-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,826 miles per year which is typical for the age. The test on 13 April 2022 logged 89,416 miles, rising to 94,679 by 31 May 2023 and 97,659 by 29 May 2024, a steady annual accumulation near 5,000 to 5,200 miles. A single failure on 4 May 2023 at 94,668 miles shows no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or unlogged cause rather than mechanical fault, with the car passing cleanly 27 days later. The DVSA history flags no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring fractures, binding calipers, brake disc wear, or structural corrosion across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's age, and verify the 2023 failure reason through DVLA correspondence. Pre-purchase checks ought to confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions at the current 102,383-mile state, as these consumables fall outside MOT advisory capture when within limits. The clean record implies prior owners kept basic upkeep current, though absence of advisories limits insight into impending wear on dampers or steering joints.
