2011 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FV61 AAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on 31 October 2025 at 97,193 miles. The maintenance history indicates a consistent pattern of reactive maintenance, where the owner addresses immediate failures to secure a passing certificate. The lack of advisories on the two most recent passing tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components are currently within acceptable tolerances, with no recorded trends of worsening mechanical degradation or progressive corrosion. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 8,033 miles, representing a standard usage pattern. The more recent interval between November 2024 and October 2025 shows a slightly lower figure of 7,591 miles. This regular interval suggests the vehicle is driven consistently rather than left for long periods, which helps prevent rubber-based components like seals and brake lines from seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension assembly and braking system, as these are common points of wear on a Focus of this age. While the record is clean of specific defect descriptions, the repeated failures in 2024 and 2025 indicate that components are being operated until they reach a legal failure limit. Inspect the control arm bushes for cracking, check the rear coil springs for fractures, and verify the thickness of the brake discs to ensure the recent passes were not merely temporary fixes.
