This 2011 Ford Focus presents a highly stable maintenance profile with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 22 September 2025 at 102,975 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a state of readiness without the emergence of chronic mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a fifteen year old vehicle. Between 23 September 2022 at 88,998 miles and 22 September 2025 at 102,975 miles, the car covered 13,977 miles, averaging roughly 4,659 miles per year over that specific period. This consistent usage suggests the car has avoided long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, with no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion across five tests. While the failure on 22 September 2023 was resolved on the same day, the lack of detailed defect data for that event is atypical. The absence of recurring faults indicates a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT test may overlook or that typically degrade on this chassis despite a clean record. Check the condition of the gearbox mounts and the integrity of the rear axle beams for any signs of structural corrosion. Given the lack of flagged consumables, verify the remaining tread depth on the tyres and the condition of the brake pads to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life.
