2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CK11 ABX

The Ford Focus presented a roadworthy status with a clean pass at the most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 98,874 miles. Maintenance trend remains stable, as every examination from December 2022 onward resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, barring a single failure on 18 October 2023 that was reversed three days later with identical mileage and no faults listed. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical issues across the timeline. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 15-year-old hatchback, averaging roughly 6,600 miles per year. The record jumps from 79,314 miles on 19 December 2022 to 88,592 miles on 23 October 2023, a 9,278-mile spell over ten months. A stark plateau follows: only 38 miles were added by 6 September 2024, implying the car stood idle for most of that year. Normal usage resumed by the 2025 test, reaching 98,874 miles. Sparse entries with zero advisories indicate previous owners addressed requirements promptly, though the dormant period warrants scrutiny for perished rubber or surface corrosion. Buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related components not surfaced by the MOT. Focus models of this era commonly suffer degraded suspension bushes, fractured coil springs, and corroded subframe mounts. The tester noted no brake disc lipping or binding calipers, yet 98,874 miles demands measurement of friction surfaces and exhaust emissions. Check sills and wheel arches for structural rust, and verify tyre sidewalls haven't cracked during the low-mileage storage.
